Ikorodu City has officially announced the transfer of midfielder Tosin Oyedokun to Libyan club Al-Afreeki SC. This move marks a significant milestone for Oyedokun as it is his first professional experience outside Nigeria after spending two seasons with the Lagos-based club.

During his time at Ikorodu City, Oyedokun became a key player, contributing significantly to the team's success. He made 63 appearances and scored 11 goals, showcasing his talent and dedication on the pitch. His efforts were instrumental in helping the team secure promotion to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) in 2024.

Oyedokun's departure is seen as a notable loss for Ikorodu City, where he was one of the longest-serving members. His experience and skill will be missed as the club looks to build on its recent successes in the league.

As he joins Al-Afreeki SC, Oyedokun will reunite with Matthew Arinze, a former defender from Kwara United, who also made the switch to the Libyan side earlier this week. This collaboration is expected to strengthen Al-Afreeki SC as they prepare for the upcoming season.

The move highlights the growing trend of Nigerian players seeking opportunities in international leagues, particularly in North Africa, where clubs are increasingly scouting for talent in Nigeria. Oyedokun's transition is a testament to his potential and the competitive nature of the football landscape in Nigeria and beyond.
