On Friday Capturing Stars SC (3SC) tweeted about their mid-season pleasant match towards Ikorodu Metropolis and one picture stood out from the picture of gamers lined up, Ikouwem Udo Utin.
Utin was captain of Enyimba, a 19 year-old, who impressed their league title triumph that season.
He was genuinely that massive a prospect, a lot so the nationwide staff Coach, Paul Aigbogun, drafted him into the Nigeria U20 MNT for the Africa Cup of Nations and subsequently the FIFA U20 World Cup.
The transition was regular and he even obtained Tremendous Eagles invites, there was nothing unnatural about how Utin’s profession with the NT was guided, however the participant then went and took a surprising detour.
The teen’s inventory was rising and the possibility of presumably becoming a member of a superb European league was opening up with the publicity at each membership and nationwide staff ranges.
Therefore, it got here as a shock when the Teenager opted for the Israeli Ligat ha’AL, transferring to Maccabi Haifa as his first abroad vacation spot.
4 years down the road, owing to plenty of elements, ND after stints at Bnei Sakhnin and NK Slaven Belupo in Croatia, Ikouwem Utin is again within the colours of an NPFL.
With 3SC he’d hope to revive his profession like many earlier than him had accomplished; Duke Udi, Gbolahan Salami and Sunday Faleye to say just a few.
As a part of our preparation for the second spherical of the NPFL, we had been concerned in a warm-up duel towards Ikorodu Metropolis.
