Chiedozie Okorie Set for Kano Pillars Switch — A New Chapter for the Flying Antelope Star?
Kano Pillars are on the verge of pulling off one of the smartest moves of the NPFL transfer window, with Chiedozie Okorie reportedly in advanced talks to join the Sai Masu Gida ahead of the 2025/26 season.
The 26-year-old forward, who was a key part of Rangers International’s 2024 NPFL title-winning squad, is now set for a new challenge as his contract with the Flying Antelopes expires at the end of June.
📊 Okorie by the Numbers:
40 NPFL appearances
6 goals
1 league title (2024 with Rangers)
While his goal tally may not scream headlines, Okorie’s work rate, versatility, and big-game presence have earned him respect across the league. He’s seen as a player who may flourish even more under a system that fits his style — and Kano Pillars might just be that place.
💬 Our Take: Smart Business or Gamble?
For Pillars, this move could be a shrewd investment — bringing in a title-winning player with experience and hunger to prove more. Okorie has already shown he can thrive under pressure, and in a city like Kano, where expectations are sky-high, that matters.
The challenge will be whether Pillars can build the right structure around him. If they do, Okorie could easily evolve into a key attacking figure and a leader on and off the pitch.
For the player, it’s a chance to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight of a club aiming to return to the summit of Nigerian football.
