The management of Sunshine Stars has officially announced the appointment of former player Kehinde Abiodun as the club’s new scout, effective immediately. This decision comes as part of the team’s preparations for the upcoming season, following a disappointing campaign in the Nigeria National League (NNL).
Abiodun, a familiar face at the Owena Waves, is expected to leverage his deep understanding of the game and sharp talent identification skills to uncover promising young players. His role will be crucial in strengthening the squad as the club aims for promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) next term.
Last season, Sunshine Stars finished in fifth place in NNL Conference A with 25 points from 16 matches, falling short of the promotion spots. The club is now focused on rebuilding and ensuring a stronger performance in the new season, with Abiodun’s appointment being a key part of that strategy.
The former player expressed enthusiasm about returning to the club in a different capacity, stating that he is ready to contribute to the team’s growth and success. His appointment has been well received by fans and stakeholders who believe his experience will be invaluable.
