Middle East Move Beckons For Super Eagles Defender Olisa Ndah Following Stellenbosch Exit

Posted : 11 June 2026

Super Eagles defender Olisa Ndah is officially searching for a new club after parting ways with South African top-flight side Stellenbosch FC. The Cape Winelands outfit decided against exercising the one-year extension option embedded in his short-term contract. This sudden development leaves the 28-year-old center-back as a free agent for the second time in just six months.

Ndah initially arrived at Stellenbosch in February 2026 after terminating his contract with league giants Orlando Pirates. His brief spell with the Maroons was heavily restricted due to lengthy delays in securing a South African work permit. He eventually made only seven first-team appearances across all competitions before the technical crew decided to reshape their defensive setup.

His representative, Mike Makaab, recently confirmed that several clubs from the Middle East have registered strong interest in securing the central defender. However, the high-profile agent admitted to having deep reservations regarding a potential transfer to that territory. Makaab explicitly highlighted the current political instability across the region as a primary cause for concern.

The veteran agent noted that regional unrest often creates immense havoc for professional sports infrastructure. He cited the recent civil conflict in Sudan, which forced domestic leagues to halt entirely, as a warning. Makaab stated that they are carefully evaluating alternative opportunities within South African borders and across European markets.

The defensive player originally rose to prominence five years ago when he marshaled Akwa United to a historic Nigeria Premier Football League title. His stellar domestic performances earned him a move to Orlando Pirates, where he quickly became an indispensable starter. Despite recent recurring fitness struggles, his agent confirmed that the defender has now fully recovered from his nagging injuries.
