Slovenian topflight club, ND Primorje, have announced the signing of former Nigeria U-20 captain, Bameyi Daniel, in what has been described as a major boost to the team’s ambitions in the PrvaLiga.
Head coach Milan Anđelković hailed the arrival of the young defender, noting that his international experience would strengthen the squad both domestically and in European campaigns.
“I am very happy with this signing. Bameyi is a talented player who has proven himself at the highest level with the Nigeria U-20 team. I believe he will play an important role in helping our team perform well in the league and also represent us strongly in Europe,” Anđelković said.
Club president Bojan Adžić also welcomed the move, describing it as a step in the right direction for the ambitious side.
“We are very pleased to welcome Bameyi Daniel to ND Primorje. His talent and leadership qualities are evident, and we look forward to building a successful relationship with him here in Slovenia,” Adžić stated.
The signing is widely seen as a statement of intent by ND Primorje as they seek to establish themselves as strong contenders in the Slovenian league.
Bameyi, who captained Nigeria at the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, has also featured for the U-23 Eagles and the home-based Super Eagles, making him one of the most versatile young defenders to emerge from Nigeria in recent years.
