In a significant boost for Ikorodu City FC, the club has announced the signing of Alade Solomon on a two-year contract. Solomon, who previously played for 1472 FC in the Nigeria National League, joins Ikorodu City following a standout season at EMILOJU Football Club.

Solomon’s addition to Ikorodu City is expected to provide a significant boost to their attacking options. His ability to find the back of the net regularly will be a crucial asset as the team adjusts to the higher competition level in the NPFL.
The new signing expressed his enthusiasm about the move, stating, “I am thrilled to be joining Ikorodu City FC. This is a fantastic opportunity, and I’m eager to contribute to the team’s success in the Premier League. I believe in the club’s vision and am committed to giving my best on the field.”
Ikorodu City FC’s management also expressed their excitement about the new acquisition. “Alade Solomon’s signing is a key part of our strategy to build a competitive squad for the Premier League. His goal-scoring record speaks for itself, and we are confident he will make a significant impact.”
As Ikorodu City prepares for their debut season in the NPFL, the arrival of Solomon is a promising development, signaling the club’s ambition to make a strong impression in Nigeria’s top football division.
