In a significant career move, Nigerian goalkeeper Loveday Anugbuo has signed a two-year deal with Ayema FC, a top-tier club in the Benin Republic.
The highly regarded shot-stopper joins the Beninese outfit on a free transfer after a stint with Warri Wolves in the Nigerian National League (NNL).
Anugbuo’s switch to Ayema FC is not just a new chapter in his professional life but also a major step up, providing him with the platform to test his skills in a different competitive environment.
The goalkeeper, who began his career with Dakkada FC before making a name for himself at Warri Wolves, has consistently been a standout performer in Nigeria’s domestic leagues.
His move to Ayema FC reflects his ambition and readiness to embrace new challenges.
Speaking to sports247 about his transfer, Anugbuo expressed his excitement and optimism for the future.
“Joining Ayema FC is a fantastic opportunity for me. It’s a new challenge, and I’m eager to contribute to the team’s success. I’ve learned a lot in Nigeria, and I’m ready to take on this new experience in Benin with the same passion and commitment,” he said.
Ayema FC, known for its strong defensive tactics and disciplined gameplay, will likely benefit from Anugbuo’s experience and shot-stopping ability. The Benin Republic league is competitive, and with Anugbuo between the posts, Ayema FC fans can look forward to a solid defensive presence.
As Loveday Anugbuo settles into his new club, both he and Ayema FC will be hoping that this partnership leads to a successful and fruitful spell in Benin Republic football.
The move not only highlights Anugbuo’s personal aspirations but also underscores the increasing mobility and opportunities for Nigerian players across West African leagues.
