defender, Ugonna Felix Aniekwe is still basking from the Euphoria of his
Nigeria Professional Football League debut against Rangers.
The right-back who played all 90 minute displayed a
superb performance even as the Olukoya Boys lost the matchday 16 top of the
table clash by a lone goal.
"It was great feelings for me having my family and
loved ones come watch my game at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium and starting
against the Flying Antelopes,” Aniekwe told Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com.
"The Coal City is my home, so it was easy for me to
showcase my qualities. My sincere thanks to my coach, Fidelis Ilechukwu for
giving me my first start of the season. Not too many managers would want to
feature a young defender in a big game against Rangers away from home. It was a
chance that comes once and I am glad I took it.
“Though, sad we could not stop Rangers from extending
their unbeaten run, however I take home the positives from the game. The high
profile game has boosted my confidence level and of course it would grow game
from games.
"In a nut-shell, having got 90 minutes I hope in the
near future I'll command a regular starting shirt. I know won't come easy but
with hard work; maintain a good fitness level; me been injury free and
dedication it is achievable," he said.
Aniekwe has also expressed his readiness to help the
Olukoya Boys win its first trophy of the season as they begin their Lagos State
FA Cup defense on Friday.
"I look forward to winning my first silverware and
that's the FA Cup,” he told Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com.
