The dugout

Uche Sabastine frozen out at Warri Wolves

This is not rotation. Uche Sabastine has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Warri Wolves is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Tempers go at Warri Wolves

Dokou Dodo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Warri Wolves count the cost of losing Alimi Adebayo

30 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Sunday Abacha signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Sunday Abacha commits to Warri Wolves for another 3 years.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Innocent Orukpe

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Warri Wolves told Innocent Orukpe something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout

Amatesiro Shemayi knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Amatesiro Shemayi trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Abdulmajid Aminu is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Warri Wolves is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Tempers go at Warri Wolves

Gift Isioma was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout

Prince Ebhohon frozen out at Warri Wolves

This is not rotation. Prince Ebhohon has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Warri Wolves is pretending otherwise.

Market

Warri Wolves promote Sunday Abacha from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Sunday Abacha has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Wilfred Madu steps up from the Warri Wolves academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Wilfred Madu has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Warri Wolves promote Alex Ekong from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Alex Ekong has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

Abdullahi Shehu signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Abdullahi Shehu commits to Warri Wolves for another 1 years.

The dugout

Vincent Edafe asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Match

Nothing left to play for but pride at Warri Wolves

50 points in position 12: too many to go down, too few to go anywhere. The honest description of a season like this is a shrug, and the supporters have already given it.
