Tanzanian Premier League side Azam FC have secured the services of Nigerian defender Taiwo Abdulrafiu from Nigeria Premier Football League club Rivers United, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The Dar es Salaam-based outfit moved to strengthen their defensive unit by signing the highly-rated centre-back ahead of the new campaign.
Abdulrafiu leaves Rivers United after establishing himself as one of the NPFL's consistent defenders, with his solid displays earning him widespread recognition.
The transfer represents another important milestone in the Nigerian's career as he prepares to feature in the Tanzanian Premier League while also competing in continental competitions with his new club.
Azam FC will be counting on Abdulrafiu's experience, composure and defensive ability to reinforce their backline as they pursue honours both domestically and on the African stage.
