Rangers Sign Segun Oloruntoba from Lobi Stars to Bolster Attack for New NPFL Season

Rangers International have signed Segun Oloruntoba on a two-year deal from Lobi Stars.

The 23-year-old winger joins with hopes of boosting the club’s title chances this NPFL season.

Rangers International has completed the signing of winger Segun Oloruntoba from Lobi Stars on a two-year contract as the club intensifies preparations for the new Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

The 23-year-old attacker described the transfer as a dream fulfilled, joining the Enugu-based giants with high hopes of contributing to their title ambitions. Rangers, who finished fifth in the NPFL last season, are seeking a stronger campaign as they aim to reclaim their place among Nigeria’s elite clubs.

“This is a dream come true for me in my career. Rangers are a big club, and I promise to be at my best to ensure we get our targets for the season,” Oloruntoba said in his first interview with the club’s media.

With a storied history that includes eight NPFL titles, Rangers are regarded as one of the most successful clubs in Nigerian football. However, their recent performances have fallen short of expectations. The arrival of Oloruntoba is seen as a strategic move to inject pace and creativity into the squad’s attacking setup.

Known for his speed and agility on the flanks, Oloruntoba is expected to play a key role in helping the “Flying Antelopes” return to form. Fans and analysts alike believe his style of play could be instrumental in breaking down opposing defenses and unlocking opportunities in tight matches.

The transfer also comes amid internal tension, with Rangers’ head coach Abdu Maikaba recently requesting to terminate his contract, citing alleged harassment. The club’s management has yet to issue a formal response to the situation, raising concerns about the stability of the technical team.

Nevertheless, the focus remains on football, and Oloruntoba’s signing provides a boost to team morale. The winger’s commitment and enthusiasm are already drawing attention as supporters anticipate his debut in the red-and-black jersey.
