Rivers United head coach, Finidi George, has expressed his delight at the arrival of striker Victor Mbaoma, who recently joined the club in a high-profile transfer. Mbaoma, a proven goal scorer, is expected to bolster Rivers United’s attack as they push for success in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) and continental competitions.
Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Finidi described Mbaoma as a “quality addition” to the team. “We are thrilled to have Victor with us. He is a talented player with a proven track record, and his experience will be invaluable to the team. I believe he will make a significant impact,” Finidi said.
Mbaoma, who previously played for Enyimba and other top clubs, is known for his clinical finishing and ability to create scoring opportunities. His signing is seen as a statement of intent by Rivers United, who are currently competing on multiple fronts, including the NPFL and the CAF Confederation Cup.
The striker expressed his excitement about joining the Port Harcourt-based club, stating that he is eager to contribute to the team’s success. “I’m happy to be here and ready to give my best. Rivers United is a ambitious club, and I want to help them achieve their goals,” Mbaoma said.
Fans of the club have also welcomed the signing, with many taking to social media to express their optimism about the team’s prospects this season. Rivers United currently sit in a strong position in the NPFL and are determined to maintain their momentum as the season progresses.
Finidi, a former Super Eagles winger, has been credited with transforming Rivers United into one of the most formidable teams in the league. With the addition of Mbaoma, the club’s ambitions of winning domestic and continental titles have received a major boost.
