Kano Pillars have announced the signing of two former Super Eagles players, Ahmed Musa and Shehu Abdullahi, on free transfers.
Both players returned to the club this week and have already started training with the four-time Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) champions.
Ahmed Musa, 31, will return for the third time to Kano Pillars, the club he first played for in 2009-2010, before a brief stay in 2021.
Musa was the NPFL’s top scorer when he first joined the club, scoring 18 goals in the 2009/10 season.
The former Leicester City and CSKA Moscow star brings a wealth of experience to the squad, having enjoyed a distinguished career overseas and also captaining the Nigerian national team.
Moussa’s return is expected to be a big boost for Cy Mas Guida as they aim to strengthen their team.
Shehu Abdullahi, who last played for Kano Pillars in 2012, will also return to the club after being away from the club since parting ways with Bulgarian club Levski Sofia in 2022.
The versatile 31-year-old defender has spent much of his career in Europe, playing for clubs in Cyprus and Türkiye.
His contract is expected to strengthen the team's defense.
Both players were pictured at the former champions’ training ground on Thursday ahead of their NPFL Round 5 home game against Sunshine Stars.
