Rangers Sign Abuchi Okeke as NPFL Giants Strengthen Squad

Rangers International have confirmed the signing of shot stopper Abuchi Okeke from fellow Nigeria Premier Football League side Kano Pillars, adding another new face to their squad ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The Flying Antelopes have been active in the transfer market as they prepare for the new campaign, with the club looking to strengthen key areas after an inconsistent season.

Okeke arrives from Kano Pillars, where he was starting goalkeeper before completing the move to Enugu Rangers. He gained ridiculous recognition last season, making countless saves and earning a reputation as one of the best shot stoppers in the league.

Although Rangers have not publicly revealed the financial details or length of the agreement, the signing shows the club is continuing its recruitment drive rather than relying only on the players already in the squad.

The transfer also offers Okeke a fresh opportunity to establish himself at one of Nigeria's biggest clubs. Rangers are expected to demand even better standards from every new arrival, and competition for places will be intense.

Supporters will now wait to see how quickly the new signing settles into his new environment and whether he can become an important part of the team during the upcoming NPFL season.

For Rangers, the message is clear.

The club is not standing still. Every new signing is another step in its attempt to return to the top of Nigerian football, and Abuchi Okeke is now part of that journey.
