Bendel Insurance have secured the long-term future of their promising forward Alex Oweilayefa with a fresh three-year deal. The contract will keep the teenager at the club through the 2029 season, ending any uncertainty about his next move.
The Benin Arsenal announced the extension on Wednesday, locking down one of their most productive attackers. At just 19, Oweilayefa has already established himself as a key figure in the squad.
Last term in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), the young striker delivered an impressive return of 10 goals across 21 appearances. His performances caught the eye of several clubs, but Insurance moved swiftly to retain his services.
By signing this new pact, the club has effectively silenced transfer rumors that had been swirling around the player. Management views him as a cornerstone for future campaigns.
Now, attention turns to the upcoming season. Bendel Insurance will reconvene for pre-season training on July 5 after a three-week break. Oweilayefa is expected to play a central role as the team prepares for the challenges ahead.
