Heartland’s new signing, Malachi Ohahume has promised to leverage on his impressive debut performance in the 1-1 draw against Kano Pillars on Saturday.
The young attacking midfielder scored late to rescue points for the Naze Millionaires in his first appearance following his arrival before the start of Nigeria Premier Football League, (NPFL) season stanza.
The former Abia Warriors star appreciated his side’s fine second-half display, while tasking the club’s fans to be patient with them after the home draw with Kano Pillars.
“It was a dream start for me. I can’t describe the way I felt scoring on my debut. It has been a long route but I am grateful to God that it ended in praise,” Ohahume told media.
“It was a tough game for us. We gave our all. It wasn’t a good first half for us but we improved in the second half. The new players were just involved in their first competitive game together and it will take a while before we will get to understand ourselves better.
“I want to appeal to our fans to be patient with us. We shall get it right and we will need their support. We shall improve on the performance with Kano Pillars when we visit Lafia this weekend.”
The Naze Millionaires will face wounded Lobi Stars in Lafia in their next NPFL fixture on Sunday.
