Former Nigeria Professional Football League Champions have acquired the services of Nigeria Super Eagles player, Olamilekan Aniyikaye for 2019/20 league season.
Olamilekan, who has been likened to former AC Milan defender, Nesta started his playing career with Prime Fc(now Osun United) has also played for Bayelsa United and Fc Ifeanyi Ubah where he won the Federation's Cup.
His versatility as a defender earned him a call up to the Super Eagles where he represented the country at the WAFU Cup in Ghana.
While reacting after signing for Lobi Stars, the highly rated defender could not hide his joy and promised to help Lobi Stars back to the summit of Nigerian Football.
"I am so happy to have signed for Lobi Stars. They are a very big club with great vein of history in Nigerian Football. Lobi Stars are a club that have realisable ambitions and that is why I have decided to join the club and make the ambitions come to reality. Iam here to take the team back to where it belongs, the summit of Nigeria Football."
The former federation Cup winner also pledged his 100% loyalty to Lobi Stars.
"Lobi Stars is my club and I will remain a Lobi Stars player. Though, I had numerous offers from clubs in and outside Nigeria but I chose this club because I want to write history with them.
The former Ifeanyi Ubah player is a complete defender who is fond of winning duels on the ground and in the air will be hoping to bring his wealth of experience to the back line of Lobi Stars.
Having played for the Super Eagles at the WAFU Cup before, Olamilekan is hoping that signing for Lobi Stars will be the springboard for him to gain call ups to the Super Eagles again while promising to utilize his chance if called to represent Nigeria.
He is however full of optimism that his dream of securing lucrative deal and playing in Europe for big clubs will soon be realised.
