Rangers defensive midfielder Michael Oforkansi has completed a season-long move to Lobi Stars of Makurdi, Completesports.com reports.
Oforkansi, who joined Rangers from 1472 FC at the start of the current season, has caught the attention of Daniel ‘Da Bull’ Amokachi, the Technical Adviser of Lobi Stars. His impressive performances have earned him a move to strengthen the Makurdi side in their fight to avoid relegation to the lower league.
Checks reveal that Amokachi views the 23-year-old midfielder as the ‘Busquets’ of the team.
“Yes, Oforkansi has moved to Lobi Stars.
We’ve sorted all contractual details regarding his transfer. The deal is for an initial one year,” Yemisi Daniel, Oforkansi’s agent, told Completesports.com on Friday evening.
