Slovenian club NK Maribor are excited to sign Ishaq Rafiu from Nigeria Professional Football League champions, Rivers United. The 21-year-old scored 14 goals for Rivers United in the NPFL last season and they hope he will take the Slovenian league by storm.
An elated Maribor sporting director, Marko Šuler said about the Nigerian player: “I’m glad that we made a deal, Ishaq is here as a player for the present and the future. He comes with good recommendations, like the Nigerian champion.
“Last season he scored 14 goals, if he had played all the matches until the end, he could have become the best scorer in the championship.
“He is a player with penetration, speed and concreteness, as well as rarely seen physical strength.”
The 21-year-old joins Maribor on a 3-year-deal and Šuler hopes their new recruit can score great goals for them.
“It can mean an appropriate choice for the purpose of realizing our competitive goals, and also for a further step forward from Maribor, as the players from Nigeria often prove as a breeding ground for talent. ”
