Dolphin ace Oguchi
NPL kings Dolphin have released 15 players including former international Mutiu Adegoke ahead of the new season.
Experienced left back Adegoke, who has featured for several top clubs including 3SC and Lobi Stars as well as Asec Mimosas of Cote d’Ivoire, is back playing again after a five-month injury layoff, but apparently did not do enough to be given another deal by the champions.
Officials informed MTNFootball.com that Dolphin, who will fly Nigeria’s flag in next year’s CAF Champions League, have also terminated the contracts of goalkeeper Afeso Attah and Kola Awe.
Club spokesman China Acheru has already confirmed the team’s first signing Kano Pillars central defender Abdulwasiu Sowemimo.
He came on as a substitute in the match against the NPL All-Stars, which Dolphin won 1-0 Sunday in Yenagoa.
Olympic team goalkeepers Dele Ajiboye and Theophilus Afelokhai are also in the radar of the Port Harcourt outfit.
Kwara United star Isiaka Olawale has also been linked with the NPL champions.
