Super Eagles central defender, Benjamin Tanimu, has penned a new deal with Moroccan side, Maghreb Association Sportive de Fés, after leaving Crawley Town, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 22-year-old centre-back joined the third-tier English side in August 2024, but struggled to break into their first team, making just ten appearances in his time at the club.
Upon their relegation to Sky Bet League Two, the Nigerian defender terminated his contract with Crawley Town and is now set to complete a transfer to Morocco after completing a routine medical procedure.
Tanimu is expected to sign a two-year contract with the Moroccan side, although the option to extend for another year is included.
