Go Round FC Registers 28 Players
Twenty eight players have been registered to play for Go Round FC in the 2017/ 18 Nigeria Professional Football League season.
Out of this number, 13 are newly signed while 15 remained with the club from last season’s twenty four.
Top of the names that remained with the club from last season are top scorer, EkuntaEtenfa who scored eleven goals and captain, Nelson Esor who scored seven times in the League.
After putting pen to a new three year contract, Esor said he has stayed on with Go Round FC to win and to put Omoku in the spotlight for good reasons.
“The town has had some security issues that has painted it in bad light but we are happy now that things have changed and our good performances will bring a breath of fresh air and some positive news around Omoku,” Esor said.
“It is our first ever time in the league but we will not be looked down on. We will play as though we are regular in the top league and make names for ourselves.”
Former Sharks and until last season, Bayelsa United barrel chested central defender Moses Awala leads twelve other players to Omoku on a three year contract.
Moses says he is in Omoku because he thought they were a better side than Bayelsa United wants to help the team play on the continent.
“I think this team can win the League or even qualify to play on the continent. The players I met here are young and strong and I see those potentials in them,” Awala Moses said.
“Confidence is the key. Having played in the NPFL before, I believe I can encourage the younger ones and guide them along the way.
All players with the club signed three year contracts from the start of the 2017/18 league season.

Liverpool’s season of abject misery worsened as they were beaten with embarrassing ease by a hugely impressive Nottingham Forest at Anfield.
Arne Slot’s Premier League champions were looking to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Manchester City, but instead ran into a Forest side revitalised under new manager Sean Dyche and looking back to their best.
Liverpool head coach Slot gave £125m British record signing Alexander Isak a start, but he was totally anonymous once more and only lasted 67 minutes.
Forest went ahead after 33 minutes when defender Murillo shot powerfully past fit-again Liverpool keeper Alisson to subdue an already anxious Anfield.
Igor Jesus had a second ruled out for handball, but Forest doubled their advantage 39 seconds after the break when former Liverpool defender Neco Williams set up Nicola Savona for a crisp finish in front of The Kop.
Liverpool could barely raise a response in a desperate display, Forest increasing their lead 12 minutes from time when Morgan Gibbs-White scored after Alisson saved from Omari Hutchinson.
It means Liverpool, who lie 11th before Saturday’s late fixture, have now lost six of their past seven Premier League games as Slot’s near £450m summer spending spree comes under further scrutiny.
Forest, meanwhile, are surging away from the relegation zone and are up to 16th.
