NPFL: Destiny Ashabi makes surprise return to Katsina United ahead of new season

By Wale Mustapha

In a surprising turn of events, talented Nigerian midfielder Destiny Ashabi has returned to Katsina United in preparation for the upcoming Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

Ashabi, who previously earned cult hero status with the Chanji Boys three seasons ago, is widely regarded as one of the top schemers in the league. His return to Katsina United comes as a boost for the team, as they gear up for the new season.

During his previous stint with Katsina United, Ashabi played a crucial role in helping the team secure promotion back to the NPFL two years ago. His creative midfield play and vision were pivotal to their success.

Last season, Ashabi was with Shooting Stars, but he struggled to make a significant impact with the Oluyole Warriors. Prior to his time with Shooting Stars, he had notable stints with Rivers United and EFCC FC, building on his earlier achievements with Katsina United.

The return of Ashabi is expected to bring added experience and creativity to Katsina United’s midfield, and his presence will be keenly anticipated by fans as the team prepares for the new NPFL season.
