Kano Pillars Secure Ubong Friday From Rivers United

The Sai Masu Gida confirmed the arrival of the pacey wide man as they continue to strengthen their team in preparation for the new campaign in addition to four others acquired by the club in a bid to contend for silverware.

Friday joins the Kano-based club after the expiration of his contract with Rivers United, bringing valuable top-flight experience and proven attacking quality.

Known for his blistering pace, dribbling ability and direct style of play, Friday has been one of the NPFL’s most consistent wingers over the past few seasons, being instrumental to Gorge Finidi’ side.

His ability to stretch defences, create scoring opportunities and contribute with crucial goals makes him a significant addition to Kano Pillars’ attacking options.

During his time with Rivers United, Friday played an important role in the club’s domestic campaigns, earning praise for his work rate and versatility across the front line. His performances attracted interest from several clubs, but Kano Pillars ultimately secured his signature as part of their recruitment drive.

The move signals Kano Pillars’ ambition to build a competitive squad capable of challenging for major honours in the upcoming NPFL season. Names like Zayyad Musa, Abdallah Sulaiman, Felix Okoye, came up in the list of new arrivals.

Club officials believe Friday’s experience and winning mentality will add quality to the dressing room while providing the attacking spark needed to improve the team’s fortunes.

Supporters will now be eager to see the winger make his debut in the famous yellow and green colours as Kano Pillars prepare for pre-season fixtures ahead of what promises to be a highly competitive league campaign.

With expectations rising among the Kano faithful, Ubong Friday’s arrival represents another statement of intent from one of Nigeria’s most successful football clubs as they seek to return to the summit of the NPFL.
