NNL side Go Round FC has intensified its preparation for the new football season with its search for the next big stars.
The Coach of the Nigeria National League side Ngozi Elechi said this while speaking to newsmen during its training at the team’s camp in Omoku.
Coach, Ngozi Elechi revealed that the club is in search of big stars in the mould of ex-players, Daniel Gotom and James Eronje.
Both players were top performers for the club in the first round of the just concluded Nigeria National League season before they travelled to Europe.
Ngozi Elechi said the coaches are on the lookout for players in their mould that will take the league by storm.
“James and Gotom had not played in the league before they joined Go Round FC last season. They came from academies and did so well for us.
“Those are the kinds of players we hope to discover in our open screening and that is why we decided to embark on this and leave the more experienced players out of the equation for now,” Elechi said.
Tens of players have been camped at the Krisdera Hotel Stadium for over a week, sweating it out and trying to impress the coaches.
“We are still training. We have our eyes on them and expect a lot more to join up within the coming days,” Elechi added.
“When we are done with this, we will now ask the old players of the team to return ahead of the start of the season, as well as those we scouted in the course of the last football season.”
