The veteran defender tells Goal he snubbed offers from Abia Warriors, Akwa United and Sunshine Stars to join the People's ElephantsFormer Nigeria fringe defender Ike ThankGod has explained why he chose to join Nigeria Professional Football League champions Enyimba, ahead of Sunshine Stars, Abia Warriors and Akwa United.
Enyimba have been one of the busiest teams in the transfer market and have bolstered their defence with the capture of ThankGod, who has penned a two-year deal with the two-time African champions.
“I joined Enyimba because they were persistent; they have been asking me to join them since. Akwa United, Sunshine Stars and Abia Warriors needed me but I want to play in the CAF Champions League,” ThankGod told Goal.
The veteran defender is hoping to lead the People's Elephants to CAF Champions League success and is confident they can retain their Premier League title come the end of the next season.
“My target with Enyimba is to win the League, Champions League and the Federation Cup. I hope they can do so because they have bought a lot of good players and the coach is good too,” he added.
The former Warri Wolves stopper just recovered from a knee injury and could only make the bench in Enyimba's 1-0 win against his former employers on Monday in round two of the Super Four.
According to ThankGod, he has been training with the number 28 kit ahead of the new season.
