Nigeria’s Green Hawks captain Sadiq Adebiyi joins Keighley Cougars
English rugby league team Keighley Cougars have announced the signing of Nigeria international Sadiq Adebiyi on a permanent deal on Friday.
Cougars made the announcement on the team’s website that Adebiyi joined from Betfred Super League club Wakefield Trinity on a two-year deal.
“KEIGHLEY Cougars are today excited to announce the signing of Sadiq Adebiyi.
“The Nigeria international arrives at Cougar Park on a two-year deal following his departure from Betfred Super League club Wakefield Trinity.
“Leaving Belle Vue after just one season, the forward comes to Keighley having previously worked with Head Coach Rhys Lovegrove and Andrew Henderson at the London Broncos,” Cougars’ statement read.
The 25-year-old will now spend the next two years with Cougars – they currently compete in the RFL League 1, which is the third tier of English rugby league.
“I decided to join the club because having previously worked with Hendo and Rhys, the prospect of working with them again is one that I’m looking forward too.
“Also having seen what they achieved last season and their goals for this season in the Championship, the ethos of the club is something that I’m very excited about.
“To have another season like the club had last year would be something special and if we can achieve something like that again, I would love to be a part of it,” Adebiyi said about his move to the club.
Adebiyi made his debut for the Nigeria national rugby league team, Green Hawks, in 2019 and he is currently the captain of the team.
