ojeksaikhoje.blogspot.com can reveal that Bayelsa United legend and longest
serving captain, Tarilaye Nwankwe, has confirmed his retirement from football
to complete his post graduate programme at the University of Port-Harcourt.
In a league littered with nomadic players, Nwankwe stands out as a
one-club man.
Nwankwe is a founding member of Bayelsa United when the club started its
campaign in the amateur class (now Nigeria Nationwide League), in 1999.
“It’s time for me to over on from football after contributing my quota to
the growth of Bayelsa United. I’m proud of my achievements with the club.
However, my services are available if the team wants me to play any
management role,” he told ojeksaikhoje.blogspot.com.
Nwankwe remained when the club experienced relegation in 2010 and
contributed to its return to the top flight in 2012
In 2009, he won the Premier League title and also reached the semi-finals
of the 2009 Confederations Cup, with the club.
