Published: January 06, 2014
Odunlade Paul Omoniyi admits it was a surprise to be called up to Henry Nwosu’s Gateway squad for the 2014 Nigeria National League season.
The 2012 National Sports Festival 2-goal hero was included in a 35-man team that will represent the Ogun State sponsored side in the Pool B of the second tier league in Nigeria.
Paul Scholes as he is known by his admirers was thrilled with the move and pledged to entertain the Olumo Rock soccer faithfuls with his artistry.
“I was pretty happy when I made the squad, it's just the beginning and I hope to deliver with breathtaking performance,” he said.
“I’m going to go play with an open mind. I’m just excited with the words of encouragement I received from two ex-internationals, Henry Nwosu and Yisa Shofoluwe.”
On his targets for the new season, Odunlade added: “I’m not going to rule out any possibilities for sure in terms of helping Gateway, but I think we are prepared for the task ahead.
“It’s promises to be an eventful season, and hopefully we will improve in every game and mount a surge.”
