Official: Jason Obiuto Joins Shooting Stars Ahead of 2025/26 NPFL Season

Shooting Stars SC have completed the signing of experienced defender Jason Obiuto ahead of the 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

The 29-year-old joins the Oluyole Warriors from reigning NPFL champions, Remo Stars, where he featured sporadically last season. Despite limited appearances, Obiuto’s maturity and defensive awareness made him a solid squad option, and his experience is expected to add depth and steel to Shooting Stars’ backline.

Obiuto, who also had stints with Crown FC in the Nigeria National League (NNL), announced the move via his official Facebook page, expressing optimism about the new chapter in his career.

🗣️ “Agreement reached and I am glad to be part of the family,” he wrote, confirming the move to Ibadan-based Shooting Stars.

🔍 Opinion: A Smart Move for Both Sides

For Obiuto, this transfer could be a fresh start — a chance to rediscover consistency and command a regular starting role in a team with rich history and an ever-passionate fanbase.

For Shooting Stars, bringing in a seasoned NPFL defender with past NNL experience adds leadership at the back, especially in high-stakes league encounters. His tactical discipline and familiarity with domestic football could prove crucial as the club eyes a stronger finish this coming season.
