Nigerian winger David Akintola returns to Omonia FC on two-year deal

Today, Cypriot club Omonia FC announced the signing of Nigerian winger David Akintola on a two-year contract, marking his second stint with the team after previously playing for them during the 2019/2020 season. Akintola, 30, joins after the termination of his contract with Premier League side Hull City and will wear jersey number eight.

The winger spent five years in Turkey, featuring for Adana Demirspor, Rizespor and Hatayspor before his Hull City spell. During his earlier Omonia appearance, he made seven league appearances and scored two goals before the season was curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

For Nigerian fans, Akintola's move highlights a viable pathway for players looking to revive their careers outside the top European leagues while staying competitive. It also adds depth to Omonia's attacking options as they pursue domestic and European competitions this season.

Fans can follow his progress through Omonia's official channels and check match schedules on the club's website. Will Akintola's return spark a resurgence that earns him another call-up to the Super Eagles, or will he use this platform to secure a bigger contract elsewhere?
