Christian Ekong has joined Wikki Tourist Football Club of Bauchi for the remainder of the 2022/2023 NPFL season.
The former Enyimba marksman who had a blighted short spell with the people’s elephants recently, no thanks to lingering injury worries put pen to paper yesterday with the yankari elephants for the remainder of the abridged version of the NPFL.
The Bauchi based outfit on the group B log of the abridged version of NPFL seeks to get the best out of the pacy marksman when the second stanza gets underway in a matter of days as the election break is almost over.
The 22 year old striker who also double as a winger previously had stints with Dakkada FC of uyo prior to the switch to aba in a cameo experience with the Elephants.
The tides could turn yet again for the Akwa ibom state born attacker in Bauchi, even as the coach Abdullahi Adamu led side seek to redress their season’s reputation by securing a final super 6 slot, the acquisition of Christian Ekong on a short spell could be the perfect tonic needed in the Pearl Of Tourism.
