Ikorodu City Football Club have reinforced their push for the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title with the capture of highly rated creative midfielder Abayomi Ayodeji from SGFC Athletics.
The Lagos-based outfit confirmed the signing this week, adding Ayodeji to their ranks at a pivotal point in the season as they prepare for a demanding second-half campaign.
His arrival is expected to inject creativity, control, and composure into Ikorodu City’s midfield as the club intensifies its pursuit of silverware.
Despite his young age, Ayodeji arrives with an impressive résumé.
He rose to prominence during his time with Kwara United, where he captained the club’s U-19 team to triumph in the maiden N-Youth League Cup in May 2025.
In that memorable title-winning run, the midfielder delivered nine goals and eight assists, showcasing his attacking threat and leadership qualities.
Known for his vision, calmness on the ball, and ability to dictate the tempo of play, Ayodeji is widely regarded as a strategic addition to an ambitious Ikorodu City squad.
Club officials are confident his versatility and football intelligence will provide much-needed depth and balance as the NPFL season enters its decisive phase.
