Nigerian forward Sikiru Alimi has announced his return to the Nigeria Premier Football League in remarkable fashion by scoring an impressive goal, according to Punch.
The experienced striker, who has built a solid reputation across several stints in the Nigerian top flight, produced the eye-catching finish to signal his presence back on the domestic stage. The goal highlighted the clinical form that made him a regular scoring threat during his earlier spells in the league.
Alimi is well known to followers of the Nigerian domestic game, having previously spearheaded the attack for teams such as Remo Stars and Lobi Stars. Over the years, his physical presence and composed finishing inside the penalty box have established him as one of the established forwards in the NPFL circuit.
Beyond his domestic exploits, the forward has previously represented Nigeria on the international front with the home-based Super Eagles team during the African Nations Championship qualifying campaigns. His previous league campaigns also saw him gain valuable continental experience playing in both the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup competitions.
His sharp return provides a notable boost for domestic football fans following the campaign. With another fine strike already to his name, the forward will be eager to maintain his scoring momentum as the season progresses.
