In a significant move during the just-concluded NPFL transfer window, Rangers International Football Club has secured the services of talented goalkeeper Chukwuemeka Onyia, formerly of relegated Wikki Tourists, on a remarkable free transfer.
This strategic acquisition comes as Rangers International aims to fortify its roster for the upcoming season.
Chukwuemeka Onyia, the promising shot-stopper, penned a compelling two-year contract with the club under the guidance of head coach Fidelis IIechukwu.
He now stands as the second goalkeeper to join the Rangers’ ranks in this transfer window, following the earlier acquisition of Opubo Japhet, who arrived from Sunshine Stars, similarly on a free transfer.
In a heartfelt statement after the completion of his transfer, Chukwuemeka Onyia expressed his elation at joining the illustrious ranks of Rangers International. “I’m deeply honored to stand here before you as the newest member of Rangers. This moment means the world to me,” he exclaimed, emphasizing the significance of this move in his football career.
Rangers International, often referred to as the “Flying Antelopes,” has been extremely active in the transfer market, securing a total of eight new signings to strengthen their squad.
These signings include center-back Ifeanyi Onyebuchi from Plateau United, right-back Ikenna Stephen from Abia Warriors, and midfield maestros Isaac Saviour from Vandrezzer FC and Chinedu Ibe from Nasarawa United.
Furthermore, the attacking department has seen a boost with the additions of forward Ifeanyi Ogba from Akwa United, as well as wingers Kelechi Edeh from MTA Sports and Arunta Elmer from Heartland FC.
These acquisitions underscore Rangers International’s commitment to building a formidable squad capable of challenging for honors in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL).
As the new season approaches, Rangers International fans eagerly anticipate the impact these signings will have on the team’s performance, and the club’s aspirations to clinch top honors in Nigerian football.
