Through a statement on the official website, Russian Premier League club FC Kuban Krasnodar have announced the acquisition of Nigeria international defender Dele Adeleye on a three - year contract.

Adeleye, who was a member of the Super Eagles squad at the 2010 World Cup, impressed coach Leonid Kuchuk during tests and has been rewarded with a deal which keeps him in Southern Russia until 2016.

Recall that the 24 - year - old central defender unilaterally terminated his contract with Ukrainian club Tavriya citing breach of contract.

He had not played an official game since July 2012. Hence, it was logical for him to undergo trials with Kuban before being offered a contract.

Dele Adeleye  previously defended the colors of Shooting Stars, Sparta Rotterdam and  Metalurh Donetsk in addition to his stint with Tavriya.
