Saki-United Product Adeoye Akorede has officially announced his arrival on the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) stage following an impressive start to the new season with Ikorodu City FC.

The former Saki United product joined Ikorodu City ahead of the current campaign and wasted no time making his presence felt.

Akorede made his NPFL debut in Ikorodu City’s opening league fixture against Ranchers Bees, playing the full 90 minutes as his side secured a convincing 3–1 victory.

The midfielder continued his fine start in his second appearance when Ikorodu City faced Abia Warriors. Akorede opened his goalscoring account for the club, finding the back of the net to score Ikorodu City’s second goal of the encounter.

Despite his contribution, Ikorodu City had to settle for a 2–2 draw against the Warriors.
With a full match on his debut and a goal already to his name in just his second game, Adeoye Akorede is certainly one to watch as the season unfolds.

Welcome to the NPFL, Adeoye Akorede.
