Swedish Södra Götaland club Prespa Birlik have captured the signature of Abubakar Akilu on undisclosed terms.

A midfielder by trade, the 26 - year - old last turned out for FC Fredericia and was involved in six matches for the Danish First Division before calling time on his career at Monjasa Park.

Before then, Akilu had been on the books of Kolding and FC Hjørring but wore the jersey of FC Midtjylland when he first arrived in Denmark from FC Ebedei in 2007.

It is expected that he will easily assimilate into the Prespa Birlik squad as compatriot  Edafe Egbedi is one of the important players at the Malmo - based side.

Undefeated Prespa Birlik lead the way in the Södra Götaland with 36 points in the kitty after 14 rounds.
