Transfer: Rwandan side Armée Patriotique snap up Sporting Lagos’ pacy winger

Rwandan Premier League Champions, Armée Patriotique RFC, have agreed to sign Sporting Lagos’ pacy winger, Godwin Odibo, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 26-year-old forward was one of the players who lit the heart of the fans of the Noisy Lagosians in their debut Nigeria Professional League spell.

Odibo missed several games due to injuries but was able to feature in 26 league games for Sporting Lagos, scoring one goal and providing four assists.

The former Ikorodu City man is well-known for his explosive pace and will continue his footballing career abroad with Rwandan side, Armée Patriotique RFC, following Sporting Lagos’ relegation from the Nigerian top-flight.

Odibo joins Pashcal Durugbor and Adekunle Adeleke to walk through the door at Sporting Lagos, leaving Abdullahi Biffo with even more problems as the team continues their journey in the Nigerian National League last season.

Odibo started his footballing career in the Nigerian local league with Ikorodu City FC. He had a brief stint with Belgian Pro League side, Oud-Heverlee Leuven. He returned to the NPFL a few years back, playing for Remo Stars before moving to Sporting Lagos last summer.

Armée Patriotique are one of the most successful clubs in the Rwandan football league winning twenty-two Rwandan league titles and thirteen Rwandan Cups.
