Experienced forward Sikiru Alimi has made a triumphant return to Remo Stars, his former club in the Nigeria Premier League.
Alimi previously featured for the Sky Blue Stars during the 2021/22 campaign, and the club officially announced his rejoining on their official Twitter handle.
In an afternoon tweet, Remo Stars confirmed the exciting news, stating, “We can confirm that striker Sikiru Alimi has rejoined the club ahead of the 2023–24 league season.” The announcement generated a buzz among fans, who eagerly welcomed Alimi back to the team.
Last season, Alimi had a brief spell with Shooting Stars. However, his playing time was significantly limited due to unfortunate injuries, resulting in him scoring only one goal for the Oluyole Warriors.
As a result, Alimi and Gbenga Ogunbote’s side failed to reach an agreement on a new contract, ultimately leading to his decision to rejoin Remo Stars.
Alimi’s return to Remo Stars is expected to bring a fresh wave of attacking prowess to the team. Known for his experience and goal-scoring ability, Alimi will add depth and firepower to the squad as they prepare for the upcoming 2023–24 league season.
His familiarity with the club and its dynamics will also provide an added advantage as Remo Stars aim to make their mark in the Nigeria Premier League.
The reunion between Alimi and Remo Stars is seen as a mutually beneficial move. The club gains a proven forward who is well-versed in their style of play, while Alimi finds himself back in familiar surroundings where he can showcase his talent and contribute to the team’s success.
As the new season approaches, Remo Stars fans are filled with anticipation, eager to see Alimi donning the Sky Blue Stars jersey once again. With his return, the club hopes to capitalize on his goal-scoring prowess and experience to make a significant impact in the Nigeria Premier League, aiming for a successful campaign ahead.
