Afeez Bankole Eyes Strong Finish with Kwara United, Vows to Deliver for Harmony Boys

Kwara United defender Afeez Bankole has declared his commitment to the club's ambitions this season, vowing to help the Harmony Boys secure a strong finish in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

Bankole, who joined the team during the January transfer window, has already featured three times under coach Tunde Sanni and is gradually becoming a reliable presence in the backline.

“I’m with Kwara United to showcase my talent and also help the club finish the league on a positive note,” Bankole said in an interview with the club’s media team.

🔰 Kwara United On the Rise?

Currently sitting 10th on the table with 43 points, Kwara United have shown glimpses of resurgence in recent games, going unbeaten in their last two league outings. There’s a quiet optimism in Ilorin that the team could break into the top half before the season wraps up.

Their next big test comes this Sunday, as they travel to the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium to face a disciplined Bendel Insurance side. It’s a fixture that could either solidify their momentum or pull the brakes on their steady climb.

✍️ Opinion: Bankole's Confidence Mirrors Kwara's Renewed Spirit

Bankole’s arrival and his vocal dedication to the team’s success say a lot about the renewed fighting spirit within Kwara United. While not title contenders this season, the club is rebuilding the right way—slow, steady, and with players who are eager to prove a point.

His words reflect a hunger that has often been missing from mid-table teams, and if Kwara United can channel that energy into consistency, fans may have reason to dream bigger next season.

For now, the mission is clear: finish strong, build a foundation, and return next season with even more fire.
