Super Eagles Captain, Musa on verge of signing for Kano Pillars

Posted : 04 October 2024

Nigeria internationals Ahmed Musa and Shehu Abdullahi have reportedly rejoined Kano Pillars on short-term contracts for the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League season.


Both players were pictured at the training ground of the former champions ahead of their NPFL matchday five home game against Sunshine Stars.


"Ahmed Musa, Shehu Abdullahi, Nazir Laja, and the rest of the squad trained ahead of the NPFL 2024/25 Matchday 5 clash against Sunshine Stars this weekend," the club said via X on Friday.


The 31-year-old Musa is rejoining Pillars for a third stint, having previously played for them between 2009/10 and 2021.


Abdullahi, on the other hand, will be featuring for Pillars for the second time, having played for them in 2012.


The defensive midfielder has been without a club since January 2023, while Musa also terminated his contract with Turkish club Sivasspor in February.


Although the NPFL 2024/25 summer transfer window has closed, the Super Eagles duo are eligible to join the squad as free agents.


The head of competitions for the NPFL, Sunday Obaseki, had also confirmed this to our correspondent when Musa hinted at his return to the Nigerian top flight.


"Yes, he can be registered. Ahmed Musa will be on the Transfer Matching System, so he won’t have a problem," Obaseki said.


Current NPFL champions Rangers International had expressed interest in signing the Super Eagles captain before he rejoined his former club.


During Musa’s first spell at Pillars in 2009, he ended the season as the top scorer with 18 goals before joining VVV-Venlo in the Dutch Eredivisie.


His European adventure has seen him play for CSKA Moscow and Leicester City before moving to Saudi Arabia to play for Al Nassr.
