NPFL: Warri Wolves, Akwa Starlets, Jigawa Stars, Adamawa United gain promotion

Warri Wolves have returned to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) three seasons after their demotion from the top-flight.

Along with Akwa Starlets, Jigawa Golden Stars and Adamawa United, Wolves secured a berth at the end of the NNL playoffs in four centres on Monday.

The Seasiders took the NPFL by the storm in the 2015 season and were very close to winning the league title until they were pipped to it by Enyimba.

They gave a good account of themselves in the Caf Champions League the following year but was relegated at the end of the season following financial difficulties.
