Dolphins shop for new Players

The new development  comes following the team's outser in the on going CAF Champions league played last weekend in Abidjan.

The commissioner for youth and sports development, Allwell Onyensoh told nigeriasports.com that since Dolphin will still participate in the CAF Competition hence the need to scout for players to beef the team for a better result.

“We lack midfielders, attackers and as we are still in the CAF Competition, we need to look for good players to beef the team to find our feet in the Confederation Cup,” he said.

Onyensoh confirmed that some of the old players would be dropped from the team to create space for the in coming players.

“We have about 36 players in camp and the best we have among them are only 20, we will definetly release those we believe will not make any  impact in the team when the new signings come in, so that we will be able to establish a strong team,” he added.

Speaking on their  performance so far in this year's Caf confederation cup, Onyensoh maintained that Dolphins tried it best to play into the third round but sadly lost out to former champions ASCE.

“The players did their best, in football you either you win or lose. We are still playing in the CAF competition but this time the Confederation Cup, I believe God might have destined that one for us so we will go for it,” he stated.

He assured that he would put his possible best to make sure Dolphins win any of the CAF Competition for the country.  Dolphin lost 5-3 on  penalties after aggregate score stood at 2-2 in Cote'd Ivoire.
