Prolific forward Anas Yusuf has delivered a heartfelt farewell message to Nasarawa United, acknowledging the critical role the club played in his professional ascent. The striker recently concluded a successful four-year tenure with the Solid Miners to finalize a high-profile transfer to the Algerian elite division side, JS Saoura. Reflecting on his journey, the former NPFL star credited the Lafia-based organization for providing the essential environment that facilitated his recent move to North Africa.
The departing goalscorer remains optimistic about the future of his former teammates despite his absence from the squad. Yusuf maintains that the current roster possesses sufficient depth and talent to sustain their competitive edge in the Nigeria Premier Football League. He dismissed concerns that his departure would hinder the team’s progress, pointing instead to the collective strength of the remaining personnel as the primary driver for their upcoming league fixtures.
Yusuf plans to maintain a close connection with the club as he begins this new chapter in Algeria. He emphasized that the memories and relationships forged during his four seasons in the NPFL remain a vital part of his career identity. The striker expressed a deep sense of loyalty to the fans and management who supported his development from a rising talent into a Golden Boot winner.
While speaking with the Nasarawa United media department, Anas Yusuf shared his deep appreciation for the institution:
“Without the platform given to me by Nasarawa United, I wouldn’t be here. I am grateful for the support I have received from every member of the club. Nobody is indispensable in a team. I strongly believe that Nasarawa United will still succeed even in my absence because there are a lot of great players in the club. But my thoughts and prayers are always with them to succeed, as I will continue to cherish every moment I had in the team.”
