Why I turned down NPFL clubs for Niger Tornadoes - Segun Alebiosu

One of Niger Tornadoes’ summer signings, Segun Alebiosu has explained why he turned down advances from Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clubs to pitch tent with the second-tier team.

Alebiosu last played for Kwara United before his move to Tornadoes and he revealed the major reason that influenced his choice was the magnanimity of coach Bala Abubakar.

“There were NPFL teams that wanted me to join them but I chose Tornadoes because of coach Bala,” Alebiosu told Goal during an exclusive interview.
