30-year-old John Noble, the captain of NPFL champions Enyimba FC, has made a daring decision to join Tabora United, a newly promoted team in the Tanzanian Premier League.
This exciting move comes just ahead of the upcoming season.
Having showcased his skills on the grand stage as one of the Super Eagles’ keepers in 2021 Africa Cup of Nations hosted by Cameroon in early 2021, John Noble’s star power has been on the rise.
However, he faced disappointment when he was subsequently left out of the national team.
Publicly voicing his frustration, Noble expressed his concerns over delayed bonuses compared to his fellow teammates.
Putting this setback behind him, the talented goalkeeper is now embarking on a new adventure with Tabora United, formerly known as Kitayosce.
He has signed a one-year deal, with the possibility of renewal for an additional 12 months based on his performances throughout the season.
Fans are buzzing with curiosity about the driving force behind this intriguing move, especially as Noble was anticipated to feature prominently in the 2023/2024 CAF Champions League with Enyimba.
As the Enyimba captain bids farewell to the People’s Elephant, the club he helped secure their ninth NPFL title, football enthusiasts are left pondering the reasons that led to this surprising switch.
While many questions remain unanswered, one thing is certain: Noble’s presence in the Tanzanian league is bound to electrify the football scene and ignite new rivalries.
Will this move prove to be a game-changer for both the talented goalkeeper and Tabora United? Only time will tell.
