Mahanaim FC has announced the transfer of talented left back Sokoato Samuel Aibe to Czech Republic top division side SK Sigma Olomouc in a direct deal.

The 18-year old Sokoato Samuel Aibe is a home-grown talent of Mahanaim FC who was nurtured in the Club’s football and human development philosophy, after he was scouted some years ago in Kaduna.

Sokoato’s sensational physical strength, courage, intelligence and technical abilities are some of the attributes that attracted the Olomouc based Czech giants to him.

“I give thanks to God for giving me the grace to be here. I want to thank my family, mum, dad and my siblings for their support towards my career,” Sokoato said.

“I’m very grateful to Mahanaim FC for everything. The lessons, training and discipline instilled in me is what has helped me,” he noted.

Sigma who are UEFA Conference League campaigners this season also has a Mahanaim FC graduate, Ahmad Ghali on its pay roll, a role model whom Sokoato Samuel Aibe can look up to at the club.
