Few days after winning the Nigeria Professional Football League, Rivers United forward Rafiu Ishaq has left the club for NK Maribo of Slovenia.
According to complete sports, Rafiu joined the club after scoring a total of 14 goals in the league last season.
Sporting Director of Maribor, Marko Suler also disclosed this in a statement on the club’s official website.
His statement reads,
“We had to respond, to expand the staff we also need a new solution in the wing positions.
“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. 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. ”
