EJIGBO CITY FC has added a key piece to their squad in 2004 born Olaniyi Taiwo F, a hardworking, patient, and disciplined defender.
A natural center-back, Taiwo can also slot in perfectly into the right-wing back position, making him a valuable addition in the Nationwide League One (NLO) side’s push for promotion to the Nigeria National League (NNL).
Having previously played for Victory FC, Timi Giants FC (Ede), and Pegba 1 Sporting FC, Taiwo brings experience, stamina, and reliability to Ejigbo City FC. His ability to read the game, maintain strong 1v1 positioning, and contribute offensively with overlapping runs makes him a modern-day defensive prospect.
Known for his off-the-ball movement, Taiwo is constantly on the move, making penetrating runs and providing attacking support. His calmness in possession and ability to play out from the back highlight his potential to become an elite defender in Nigerian football.
At just a young age, Taiwo is already being recognized as one of the exciting defensive talents in Osun grassroots football and with continued growth and the right opportunities, he has all the tools to break into Nigeria’s top leagues in the near future.
