Three Cameroonians have been training with Maiduguri based Glo Premier League side, El-Kanemi Warriors, as the club continues to preserve its French flavour, ojeksaikhoje.blogspot.com reports.

 Since the arrival of the club’s first Cameroonian player, in 2011, the club has been home to more players from across the border.

 

Defender, Souleymanou Dori (Panthere de Nde), striker, Arnaud Onauad (Gazelle, Chad) and midfielder, Simo Jean Berteau (FOVU de Baham) have spent one week training in Maiduguri.

Raphael Boumsong, ensured the club would look at more Cameroonians after emerging revelation with nine goals as club top scorer and was later named Best Foreign Player at the 2013 League Bloggers Award (LBA).

Dori, who plays as central defender and defensive midfielder, comes with continental experience in the 2013 Caf Confederations Cup with Panthere.

Onauad played for FOVU in his native Cameroon before his stint at Chadian champions, Gazelle.

“It’s a new experience and we’re ready to play in Nigeria,” Onauad told ojeksaikhoje.blogspot.com.

 Berteau played for another top Cameroonian side, Les Astres before joining FOVU.
