Ahmed Musa returns to Kano Pillars
Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, has rejoined Kano Pillars for the remainder of the 2020/21 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season.
Musa joins Sai Masu Gida for the rest of the season, 11 years after he first featured for the club.
The 28-year-old previously played for the Pride of Kano in 2009, and ended the season as the top scorer in the NPFL with 18 goals, before a move to VVV Venlo in the Dutch Eredivise.
He went on to feature for CSKA Moscow, Leicester City and Al Nassr.
According to a club statement signed by the media officer of the team, Idris Malikawa, an agreement was reached with the player after due consultations with the League Management Company.
The Nigeria international will be unveiled by the Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, before the commencement of the second stanza of the league.
“Musa is our own and Pillars FC will continue to support him anytime and anywhere he finds himself,” Malikawa said.
The four-time Nigeria Professional Football League champions are currently leading the log alongside Kwara Utd with 36 points each from 19 matches.
