Utin: Nigeria U20 defender joins Bnei Sakhnin on loan from Maccabi Haifa

Nigeria’s Ikouwem Utin has completed a season-long loan to newly-promoted Israeli Premier League club Bnei Sakhnin from Maccabi Haifa.

Utin is the latest addition to join Eldad Shavit's team ahead of the commencement of the 2020-21 Ligat Ha`Al campaign on August 8.

The Nigeria international will be hoping to gather more playing time in Sakhnin after he was restricted to 176 minutes of football action in seven league appearances in Haifa last campaign.

Bnei Sakhnin are one of the two teams promoted to the Israeli Premier League this term after finishing second in the 2019–20 Liga Leumit table, behind champions Maccabi Petah Tikva.
