Pecohub Rangers International FC have announced the signing of teenage winger Eni Egon Daniel from FC Abakaliki ahead of the 2025/26 NPFL season.
The contract was completed at the club’s Enugu headquarters over the weekend. Hailing from Cross River State, Daniel expressed immense pride in joining the Flying Antelopes, calling it a dream fulfilled. Rangers officials view the addition as a key reinforcement under coach Fidelis Ilechukwu’s guidance.
Renowned for his pace and ability to shine on either flank, Daniel made a stellar impression during Abakaliki FC’s run in the 2025 President Federation Cup.
In his first remarks as a Ranger, he said: “Rangers is a very big club and the dream of every footballer is to get the opportunity to defend the badge of this great club. I hope to make my positive contribution towards helping the team achieve its set targets this season.”
Club insiders expect Daniel to be formally introduced at a media session alongside other new recruits in the coming days. The signing underlines Rangers’ clear intent to compete strongly in the upcoming campaign.
We see Rangers International’s move for Eni Egon Daniel as a statement of ambition. Bringing in a teenage winger from FC Abakaliki signals their commitment to talent renewal. It’s a bold yet calculated step under coach Fidelis Ilechukwu, who evidently trusts youthful promise.
We believe fast, versatile wingers are indispensable in the modern NPFL. Daniel’s ability to operate on both flanks provides tactical flexibility. Coupling speed with direct attacking flair, he could be the spark Rangers need to unsettle opposition defences.
We appreciate that the club celebrated his signing with local pride. Daniel’s roots in Cross River and his standout run in the President Federation Cup tie him to grassroots passion. That connection ensures supporters can rally behind him—not just as a player, but as an inspiration to younger footballers.
