Katsina United have bolstered their squad ahead of the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season with the signing of Sierra Leone international goalkeeper Francis Koroma from Wilberforce FC.
Sports247 reports that the highly rated shot-stopper joins the Chanji Boys as the club continues to strengthen its roster in preparation for the new campaign.
Koroma arrives with an impressive reputation following his performances for Wilberforce FC and the Sierra Leone national team, and he is expected to add quality, experience, and competition to Katsina United’s goalkeeping department.
The transfer was successfully facilitated by Nigerian football agent Orji Telma, who brokered the deal that saw Katsina United secure the services of the talented goalkeeper for a significant transfer fee.
The move marks a new chapter in Koroma’s career as he embarks on his first spell in Nigerian football, with high expectations surrounding his arrival at the former NPFL champions.
Katsina United will be hoping the Sierra Leonean international can play a key role in their ambitions for the 2026/27 season as they aim to compete strongly in the domestic top flight.
Koroma’s signing also reflects the growing appeal of the NPFL to players from across the West African region, with clubs increasingly looking beyond Nigeria’s borders to strengthen their squads.
The Chanji Boys and their supporters will now look forward to seeing the experienced goalkeeper make an immediate impact as preparations continue for the new NPFL campaign.
