Simy: Nigerian striker leaves Al-Orobah to become free agent after Saudi First Division spell

Nigerian centre-forward Simy has left Saudi First Division League side Al-Orobah and is now a free agent, with the transfer registered on 2026-07-01 and his contract officially expiring on 2026-07-01. The 34-year-old moves into the Without Club pool after his deal in Saudi Arabia came to an end, with no transfer fee involved.

The Lagos-born striker, listed at 1.98m and a right-footed specialist through the middle, departs Al-Orobah with a current market value of €325k. The move to Without Club confirms that the experienced forward is now unattached and available on a free transfer, opening the door to another spell abroad away from his home country, Nigeria, should a new offer arrive.

Simy’s exit marks the conclusion of his stint in the Saudi First Division League, where Al-Orobah competed in the domestic second tier. While the financial details of his contract in Saudi Arabia were not disclosed, the latest registration data shows the transfer to Without Club was completed without a fee, underlining the fact that his agreement with Al-Orobah has run its course rather than being bought out.

The Nigerian attacker, whose full profile is detailed via his player registration, has built his career as a central striker, operating almost exclusively as an attack-focused centre-forward. His profile lists only Nigeria as his nationality, and he has not been tied to any national team squad in the current records, with “Without Club” also noted at national-team level, indicating no ongoing international commitments at this stage.

There are no official recent match records, specific opponents, or performance statistics provided in the latest data, nor season-by-season tallies of appearances or goals from his time at Al-Orobah or previous clubs. As such, formal analysis of his most recent form, contribution in key fixtures, or his impact in decisive matches is not possible from the current information. What is clear, however, is that he leaves Saudi Arabia with the profile of an experienced professional striker, whose market valuation reflects a player still considered capable of contributing at a competitive level.

For fans in Nigeria, the confirmed news means one of the country’s veteran attacking options is again on the market and potentially set for another move abroad, rather than returning directly to domestic football. Supporters and observers will now watch to see whether clubs in established or emerging leagues look to take advantage of his free-agent status, particularly given the absence of any transfer fee.

With his contract at Al-Orobah officially ending on 2026-07-01 and his status as a free agent now clear, the next decision in Simy’s career will determine where he plays his next football and how the latter stages of his professional journey unfold.
