“Moffi, sourced from Nigerian Youth Soccer Academy, Calabar, and Clique Sports Academy, Lagos, has confidently confirmed his role as the leading light in the “gloom” for the modest club, struggling to avoid relegation in the French Ligue 1.
“After a rather slow start following his transfer from Kortrijk, Moffi proved he was worth the record fee paid for his transfer by finding the back of the net in regular fashion to maintain a steady rise from relegation waters for the embattled club.
