Nigerian goalkeeper Osayi Kingdom has completed a move to Swedish second-division side Assyriska Södertälje following his departure from Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions Enugu Rangers.
The transfer was facilitated after Kingdom and Rangers mutually agreed to terminate his contract, allowing him to make the switch to Europe.
The shot-stopper, who previously played for Doma United, now embarks on a new chapter in his career with the Swedish club.
Emotional farewell to Rangers
Following his exit, Kingdom penned a heartfelt farewell message to Enugu Rangers, expressing gratitude to the club and its supporters for their role in his development.
“Dear Enugu Rangers International family, as I bid farewell to this incredible team, I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who made my time here unforgettable. From the management to the coaching staff, my teammates, and the loyal fans, your support has been invaluable,” he wrote on X.
He further reflected on his time with the NPFL champions, highlighting the pride he felt representing the club.
“I am honored to have worn the Rangers jersey and contributed to the team’s success. The memories, lessons, and experiences gained will stay with me forever.”
Kingdom concluded his message by extending his best wishes to the club, hoping for continued success in the future.
A new challenge in Sweden
Kingdom’s move to Assyriska Södertälje presents an opportunity to establish himself in European football.
The Swedish club, based in Södertälje, competes in the Ettan league and has a history of developing talent from various footballing backgrounds.
His arrival is expected to strengthen Assyriska’s squad as they push for a strong campaign in the Swedish second tier.
For Kingdom, the transfer marks a significant step in his career, providing him with a platform to showcase his abilities on an international stage.
