FORMER Nigeria defender, Joseph Yobo has denied joining
Nigeria Professional Football League side, Kano Pillars.
After a glittering football career, the 35-year-old
announced his retirement in June 2016 but reached an agreement with the League
Management Company to play for a topflight team as league ambassador.
There were reports that the former Everton defender who
was born in Kano, opted to play for Pillars ahead of other interested clubs
which included Akwa United, Wikki Tourists and even big spenders, FC Ifeanyi
Ubah.
Yobo is also expected to make his maiden appearance for
Pillars in a Match Day 34 clash at home to Sunshine Stars this weekend.
However, the former Super Eagles captain has now come out
to deny the existence of such deal.
“I read that I was missing in action last weekend. I have
not signed for Kano pillars or any NPFL club,” he wrote via his official
Twitter handle (@jyobo234).
