From Golden Eaglets to Europe: Simon Cletus Lands at HNK Rijeka
One of the most enterprising football talents in Nigeria at the youth level, Simon Cletus, has pitched his tent with European club, HNK Rijeka of Croatia.
Cletus, who captained the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria under the tutelage of Manu Garba, as SS 1 student of Palm Ville College in Lagos put to pen on paper a three – year deal with Croatian top flight club and he is expected to be relevant in their U- 19 team structure.
The highly rated midfielder, richly endowned with visionary passes, sleeky dribbles and ability to score goals led the Golden Eaglets to a bronze medal finish at the 2024 WAFU B U-17 tournament in Accra, Ghana.
The 18 year old is another product of Mavlon FC of Lagos who has been transfered to European clubs in recent weeks.
He joined the likes of Momoh Muntari ( NK Istra of Croatia), Elisha Ephraim ( CD Castellón,Spain ) and Wahab Musa ( Malaga CF, Spain).
