Nigerian defender Andrew Ikefe, has signed a one-year contract with Lebanese Premier League club Al Ahed FC.
The transfer from Shabab Al-Sahel FC was completed on Monday, with Ikefe set to start training with his new team on Tuesday.

Al Ahed FC won the championship in the 2022-23 season and, despite finishing third in the 2023-24 season behind Al Ansar and Al Nejmeh, they remain a formidable competitor.
