Published: May 25, 2018

Allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed that two former Nigeria U23 invitees in the shape of Sergio Uyo and Haruna Garba have been snapped up by Sudanese powerhouse Al-Hilal.

Former Torino youth-teamer Sergio Uyi has penned a one-year contract with The Blue Wave, with a one sided option for an additional season inserted into the deal.

Garba joins Al-Hilal as a free agent from Maltese Premier League side Gzira United, for whom he scored 5 goals in 12 matches last term whilst on loan from Djurgården of Sweden.

If the striker does well when his loan deal expires on June 30, 2019, he would be signed on a permanent basis.

Uyi was invited to the Dream Team VI get-together in Abuja prior to the 2016 Olympic Games but could not train with the squad due to injury but Haruna failed to make the final cut after he was observed by coach Samson Siasia.

The Italian-Nigerian lists Usd Vanchiglia, Canavese, Dainava, Kruoja, Atlantis FC, SSV Reutlingen, Bangor City and Senglea Athletic amongst his former clubs.

Both new signings have not been assigned jersey numbers yet.
