-

Nigerian goalkeeper Olorunleke Ojo has signed with Wolwalo Adigrat University, a club in the Ethiopian Premier League.

In a strategic move to bolster their defense, Wolwalo has acquired the seasoned goalkeeper, who aims to help the team improve its performance after conceding 24 goals this season. Coach Tsegaye Kidanemariam believes that Ojo's experience will be crucial in their battle for survival in the league.

Having recently concluded his time with Sudanese club El-Merreikh, Ojo has committed to a five-month contract with Wolwalo.

"I have high aspirations with Wolwalo," Ojo expressed in a media interview.

"While I received offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, I chose to join Wolwalo due to its professional management."

"I am genuinely excited to be here; it is a privilege to wear the yellow jersey and represent Wolwalo. I am dedicated to giving my utmost for the club and its fans."

"It is a true honor to join this distinguished club, and I have felt a warm welcome from everyone since my arrival."

"The opportunity to work hard in Ethiopia and contribute to Wolwalo's success is a significant source of motivation for me," he added.

Ojo brings extensive experience to the team, having played for clubs such as Giwa FC, Sunshine Stars, Abia Warriors, and Enyimba. His consistent performances have established him as a dependable goalkeeper.

He was also part of Nigeria's squad at the recent Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire, where the team secured a silver medal.
