Ahmed Musa's journey with NPFL

Musa began his professional career with Kano Pillars in the NPFL in 2008. He quickly established himself as one of the most promising young players in the league.

In 2020, he returned to the league, and his decision was a significant move that marked a new chapter in his illustrious career. After spending a decade playing in Europe and Asia, the Nigerian forward chose to reconnect with his roots and contribute to the development of the domestic league.

The former Leicester City winger stated that he will one day return to the NPFL and play for a long time before he retires.

"I will always talk about the Nigerian League because I was once their product. And that placed me where I am today, and till tomorrow, anytime I am going to stop football, I am going to come to Nigeria again and play in the Nigerian League.

"But this time, I am going to stay for a long time and play. To show you the love I have for the Nigerian League," Musa stated on X (former Twitter space).

Ahmed Musa would join the likes of Rashidi Yekini, Garba Lawal, and Daniel Amokachi, who retired in the NPFL after a long career overseas.
