Lobi Stars have promoted youth team goalkeeper, Sunday Ali, from Lobi Feeders, which campaigns in the Nigeria Nationwide Division One League (amateur class) to the first team in the Glo Premier League.
Ali joins the duo of Terkaa Melai and Daniel Atsaka as well as Terhemen Akombo, who has returned to the club in the first team.
A native of Oturkpo, Ali was scouted by former Nigerian International, John Zaki, who serves as youth team coach, during a grassroots competition, at North Bank, in the state capital, Makurdi.
“It’s a sign of his dedication to duty.
“Ali joined Lobi Feeders in November last year and club supremo, Dominic Iorfa and the coaches were satisfied with his performance in Friday’s friendly against the first team. That’s the reason for his elevation,” Zaki said to supersport.com
Ali joins Suleiman Ochimana and Michael Anura, who were recently promoted to the first team ahead of the new season.
The Makurdi side is renowned for its dependence on players in its youth team and the club won two awards at the last League Bloggers Awards.
Central defender, Stephen Eze, was named Best Youth Team Draft, while the club won Best Youth Team award.
