Nigeria internationals Ahmed Musa and Shehu Abdullahi have rejoined Kano Pillars on short-term contracts for the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
The players were spotted at the training ground of the former champions on Thursday, October 3, preparing for their upcoming match against Sunshine Stars on matchday five of the NPFL.
In a statement shared via X on Friday, the club confirmed, “Ahmed Musa, Shehu Abdullahi, Nazir Laja, and the rest of the squad trained ahead of NPFL 2024/25 Matchday 5 clash against Sunshine Stars this weekend.”
Musa, 31, returns to Pillars for a third stint, having previously played for the club from 2009/10 until 2021.
Abdullahi, meanwhile, is set to feature for Pillars for the second time, following his initial spell with the club in 2012.
Both players have been without clubs for some time; Abdullahi has been a free agent since January 2023, while Musa terminated his contract with Turkish side Sivasspor in February.
Sunday Obaseki, head of competitions for the NPFL, confirmed Musa’s return, stating, “Yes, he can be registered.
Ahmed Musa will be on the Transfer Matching System, so he won’t have a problem.”
