Mfon Udoh has been named the new captain of Enyimba FC, following Chinedu Udoji’s move to Kano Pillars, ahead of the 2016/2017 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) campaign.
This was confirmed in a statement posted on the former champions’ website on Friday.
It read: “His appointment as skipper was appropriate as he is one of the oldest players in the team and has served the club well over the last few years.
“Mfon emerged as the record NPFL goals scorer with 23 goals in a single season in the 2013-14 season, and has also won the NPFL title and the Federation Cup with Enyimba.
“He finished as the 2016 CAF Champions League top scorer with seven goals, as Enyimba reached the group stages of the championship.”
Enyimba will kick off the new season with a game against Sunshine Stars on January 15.
