Ajiboye Set To Join Dolphins FC

Nigeria Olympic team first choice goalkeeper Dele Ajiboye is now set to join Nigeria Premier League (NPL) champions Dolphins after his contract in Spain was not renewed.

Ajiboye’s contract at lower division Spanish Club Pontevedra CF, which he joined in 2009, has not been renewed.

The 21 year-old is best remembered for his penalty saving heroics as Nigeria won a third FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2007 at the expense of Spain.

He has also represented Nigeria at U-20 level.

The Tidesports gathered that Dolphin has penciled down three top goalkeepers led by Ajiboye for the forthcoming season.

Stanley Eguma, who has made the 2012 CAF Champion League hit is assembling a formidable side and so has opted for Ajiboye as well as Olympic team reserve goal keeper Theophilus Afelokhia from Kano Pillars.

Heartland shot stopper Austin Brown is set to return to Dolphin as the team prepares to win the CAF champion league next year.

A top official of the Dolphin FC, revealed to Tidesports that coach Eguma has listed three top goalkeepers for the new season.

I know that he was Ajiboye, Afelokhia and Austin Brown in his plan for next season”.

The official added that “by the end of next week, the coach is likely to make public his list of players for the   season”.

Dolphin at the weekend defeated an NPL All-Stars side by a lone goal to signal their readiness for the 2011/2012 NPL season and the CAF Champions League.

It was gathered that in the opening match of the new season, Dolphin is expected to take on the runners-up Sunshine Stars at the Liberation Stadium of the first day of the new season.
