In a bid to bolster the squad for the continuation of the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League season, Kano Pillars have reinforced their ranks with six new players during the mid-season transfer window, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

The newly acquired players include two defenders: Dawud Ibrahim, a left-back from Kebbi United, and Uzogara Kennedy, a central defender from Rivers United.

In attack, the club has secured the services of three strikers—Eshimitu Gomino Eya from FRSC, Hadi Mohammed Olarewanju from Bayelsa United, and Jerry Alex, who returns to the team after his stint with Maltese Premier League sides Mosta FC and Senglea FC.

The only midfielder signed in this window is Ezeh Charles, who previously played for Lillestrøm SK of Norway and FK Kom of Montenegro. His addition is expected to strengthen the team’s midfield options.

Meanwhile, four players have departed the club. Usman Aminu Maidubji and Yusuf Abdullahi have moved on loan to NNL side Barau FC and Plateau United, respectively, until the end of the season.

Additionally, Ghanaian midfielder Emmanuel Anaful’s contract was terminated by mutual consent, while striker Abdulmajeed Aminu is set to complete a move to South African side Moneni Pirates.
