This was contained in the press statement released by the competition’s Media Officer, Jahrock Ujewe, saying, the return of Warri Wolves FC to top flight football in Nigeria would set the platform for more young players to be discovered from the grassroot in Delta State, as the Oil City club would traditionally look inward to unearth raw talents the way Super Eagles’ midfielder, Oghenekaro Etebo, and others were spotted by the Seasiders few years before its ill-fated relegation in the 2015/2016 season.
The group also praises the club’s management for securing promotion, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, saying that history would not forget them.
The promotional 5 – 3 penalty triumph over Dynamite Force FC of Iyamho, Edo State in the Nigeria National League (NNL), Playoff to secure safe return to the Nigeria Professional Football League, NPFL, last week Monday at the Nnamdi Azikwe Stadium, Enugu.
However, they charges the club not to rest on its laurel, but to brace up for life in the elite division of football in Nigeria.
