NPFL: Shooting Stars sign defender Yusuf from Bayelsa United

Shooting Stars have completed the signing of defender Issa Yusuf from Bayelsa United for the 2026-27 Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, season.

Yusuf signed a one-year contract with the Oluyole Warriors.

His arrival will help bolster the Ibadan-based club’s defence line in the new season.

Yusuf made 25 appearances, scoring twice for Bayelsa United last season.

He is expected to hit the ground running as Nurudeen Aweroro’s side prepare to improve on last season’s performance.

Shooting Stars will compete in the CAF Confederation Cup next term.
