Samad Kadiri, ormer Enyimba forward has joined Kwara United from Lebanese side Fc Ahed in the latest NPFL transfer move ahead of the new 2022/23 Nigeria Professional League season.

Having signed a short term contract with the Lebanese club, the ex home based Super Eagles striker will now play for Kwara Utd again after he left the Harmony Boys in 2021.

Samad Kadiri had previously played with Lobi Stars, NPFL giants Enyimba but failed to nail down a starting berth scoring two goals before his exit to Kwara Utd on a one year deal.

Kwara United is at the verge of losing Wasiu Jimoh to Zesco United of Zambia but the coming of Samad Kadiri will boast the attacking line of Kwara United that already has Barnabas Daniel.
