Ahmed Musa Rejoins His Boyhood Club, Kano Pillars, Until The End Of The Season

Ahmed Musa, Super Eagles of Nigeria captain, has rejoined his boyhood club Kano Pillars for a second stint until the end of the season.

The former Leicester City and CSKA Moscow winger, 28, has been a free agent since parting ways with Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr in October.

His return to Pillars comes nearly a decade after he first left the club to join VVV Venlo in Netherland in 2011.

A statement from the Kano Pillars website read: “Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, has sensationally returned to Kano Pillars FC for the remainder of the 2020/21 Nigeria Professional Football League season (NPFL),”

“Musa previously played for the Pride of Kano in 2009 where he ended the season as the top scorer in the Nigeria Professional Football League with 18 goals before moving to VVV-Venlo in the Netherlands.”

According to Kano Pillars, the deal to have Musa back was agreed upon after ‘due consultations’ with the player and the League Management Company ‘who stand as a mediator to the deal’.
