October 05, (THEWILL) – Kano Pillars have strengthened their squad with the return of former Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa and experienced defender Shehu Abdullahi for the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
Both veterans have signed short-term contracts with the northern Nigerian outfit, bringing considerable international experience to the team.
The addition of Musa carries particular significance for Kano Pillars, given his previous success with the club. During his earlier spell, he established himself through exceptional goal-scoring abilities, becoming the most successful NPFL top scorer to later build an international career. His return marks a significant development for both the club and the league.
Abdullahi, renowned for his adaptability across defensive and midfield positions, brings valuable technical expertise to the squad. His introduction alongside Musa represents a substantial reinforcement for Kano Pillars, who seek improved performance in the current NPFL campaign.
Both players have already been integrated into team preparations, participating in training sessions before the upcoming NPFL Matchday 5 fixture against Sunshine Stars. Their involvement signals immediate availability for selection, providing the management with enhanced tactical options for the weekend encounter.
The presence of these accomplished professionals introduces additional leadership qualities to the dressing room. Their extensive experience at both domestic and international levels positions them well to guide younger squad members, while their practical contributions on the field could prove instrumental in advancing Kano Pillars’ position in the league standings.
