Yobe Stars forward Philip Auta rules out playing in lower division

Yobe Stars striker Philip Auta has hinted that he might not be staying at the Damaturu-based club if they fail in their desperate bid to escape being relegated from the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).

Yobe Stars gained promotion from the Nigeria National League (NNL) to the NPFL two seasons ago, but they are finding life quite difficult this term and are presently rooted to the bottom of the Group B table with 14 points from 16 games.

Auta, who is presently second on the NPFL top scorer’s list, told Goal that he still has a few months left on his contract, during which he would do all that he can to help Yobe Stars escape from relegation.
