Yanga SC has announced the signing of versatile young defender Abubakar Nizar 'Ninju' from Zanzibar’s JKU FC.
After showcasing an impressive performance during the Union Cup tournament earlier this year—where Yanga emerged champions after defeating JKU 1-0 in the final—Ninju caught the attention of Yanga’s top leadership (President and Vice President), who were present at the match.
Immediately after the tournament, steps were taken to finalize the signing of the youngster, who was on loan at JKU from Azam FC.
Today, Yanga officially confirmed the signing of the utility defender, who is capable of playing across the entire backline and can also operate effectively as a defensive midfielder.
Welcome to Jangwani, Ninju…!
