Iraqi Premier League club Al - Naft have secured the signature of Nigerian defender Emeka Frank Abuba from Turkish club Geredespor.

The 23 - year - old committed his future to the Basra based outfit for the next two seasons on Wednesday evening.

Before moving to Turkey in 2009, Abuba represented Magate FC, the same nursery team that produced the likes of Raheem Lawal, Sani Gideon and Itodo Gabriel.

The center back, who has already started training with his new teammates, has been handed the number 34 jersey for this season.

The deal that took Emeka Abuba to Al - Naft was brokered by Oluwaseyi Mccarthy.
