Nigerian centre-forward Moses Ebiye has completed a free transfer to HB Tórshavn from unattached status, joining the Faroe Islands club on a deal running from 2026-04-12 to 2027-12-31. The 28-year-old arrives with a listed market value of €200k and is immediately registered as a player for the Meistaradeildin side.

Ebiye’s switch is officially recorded as a move from “Without Club” to HB Tórshavn, with no transfer fee involved. The agreement gives HB Tórshavn at least one full season and a half of control over the Warri-born striker, with his contract due to expire on 2027-12-31. The deal formalises his status as a key attacking option in the capital club’s push for domestic honours and potential European qualification.

The transfer also confirms that Ebiye will be continuing his career abroad rather than in his home country, Nigeria, as he settles into life in the Faroe Islands and the Meistaradeildin. Listed as a centre-forward and capable with both feet, he fits the profile of a focal point striker who can operate across the front line if required.

Now 28, Ebiye was born on 28 April 1997 in Warri and stands at 1.85m, giving HB Tórshavn a physically imposing presence at the tip of their attack. His move comes after a period without a club, during which he was a free agent before being picked up by the Faroese outfit. That period of inactivity made him an accessible option financially, reflected in the absence of a transfer fee despite his €200k valuation.

Ebiye’s arrival strengthens a squad competing in the Meistaradeildin, the top flight in the Faroe Islands, and underlines HB Tórshavn’s willingness to look beyond traditional markets to add experience up front. While detailed recent match data, appearances and goal statistics for the current season are not available in the provided information, his signing suggests the club sees him as an immediate contributor rather than a long-term project.

From a Nigerian perspective, the move continues the pattern of players from the country seeking opportunities in less heralded European leagues as a pathway to consistency, visibility and potential future moves. For HB Tórshavn supporters, the signing of an experienced foreign centre-forward adds intrigue to the club’s forward options and raises expectations that he can translate his profile and physical attributes into goals.

With his contract now formalised and running through to the end of 2027, Ebiye has a clearly defined window to re-establish momentum in his career. If he adapts quickly to the demands of the Meistaradeildin and performs to the level suggested by his market valuation, this move to HB Tórshavn could become a pivotal step in reshaping his trajectory and strengthening his reputation on the European stage.
