Ladeinde was instrumental in Sporting Lagos’ historic promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) during the 2023/2024 season, playing a key role in their defensive solidity and leadership at the back.
His arrival at Stormers SC is seen as a statement of intent by the club, which aims to strengthen its defensive structure and challenge for promotion this season.
“Oluwafemi is a great addition to Stormers SC; I’ve watched him play on several occasions, and his composure, positional sense, and ability to read the game stand out,” said a close observer familiar with the player’s development.
With the move nearing completion, Stormers fans will be eager to see Ladeinde bring his experience, calmness, and winning mentality to the team as they prepare for a competitive campaign in the NNL.
