Dolphins bolster defence with Cameroonians

Dolphins have wrapped up deals for two Cameroonian defenders ahead of the 2014/15 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season.

The Pride of Rivers have snapped up Kingsley Ashu and Yannick Njoh for the season.

Ashu played for Lobi Stars last season and the left-back will have to tussle with Jonathan Zikiye for that role.

Njoh has been brought in from Cameroonian outfit Njalla Quan SA to swell the number of centre-backs in the Dolphins' ranks.

The two Cameroonians have been registered for the new NPFL season, according to a Dolphins official.

"The paperwork for our new Cameroonian players have been firmed up and they will play for us this season," an administrative staff member of Dolphins told supersport.com.

"You know one of them, he is Kingsley Ashu, who previously played for Lobi Stars, and the other is Yannick Njoh from Njalla Quan, a club in Cameroon.

They are both defensive players as the coach wants to make sure the club is not short in that area following the departure of one or two defenders."

Ashu and Njoh are the third signings of Dolphins in the space of five days after they snapped up goalkeeper Godwin Anyalogu, who was in the books of Sunshine Stars last term.
