Enyimba FC Bids Emotional Farewell to Captain Olorunleke Ojo

Super Eagles and Enyimba International Football Club goalkeeper, Olorunleke Ojo, is set to leave the club at the end of the season, Sportblog247.com reports. The 28-year-old, who joined Enyimba in 2021, has become a key figure and captain, leading the team to win the Nigerian Professional Football League last season under former Super Eagles coach Finidi George.

Despite multiple call-ups to the Nigerian national team, Ojo has yet to make an official appearance for the Super Eagles. After three years with Enyimba, Ojo has signed a two-year contract with Sudanese side Al Merrikh Omdurman and will play his final game for Enyimba on Sunday against Plateau United.

“Over the past three years, Ojo has been an integral part of our team, contributing significantly to our growth and success. His dedication, passion, and commitment to excellence have made a lasting impact on our club, and we are forever grateful. Last season, he played a crucial role in helping us win the prestigious Nigeria Professional Football League title, a moment that will be etched in our history forever. For three seasons, Ojo’s dedication, passion, and commitment to excellence, and will always be a part of the Enyimba family,” Enyimba posted on their official website, wishing Ojo good luck in his next career step.

Al Merrikh Omdurman finished second in the Sudanese league in the just-concluded season, eleven points behind Al-Hilal FC Omdurman.

Before joining Enyimba, Ojo played for Giwa F.C, Akwa United, Sunshine Stars, and Abia Warriors.
