Former Kwara United Goalkeeper Usman Jonah Targets Strong NPFL Return With Doma United
Doma United goalkeeper Usman Jonah has expressed his determination to make a strong impact in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) after helping his side secure promotion to the top flight.

Jonah, who previously featured for ABS Ilorin FC, Kwara United and the now-defunct Ifeanyi Ubah FC, said returning to the elite division means a lot to him after years away from the league.

Speaking after Doma United’s promotion success, the experienced and Mokwa-born shot stopper described the campaign as a difficult but rewarding journey.

“I am back to the Premier League to do better than before and we are here to do better. It’s been a tough journey, but we are now here and we promise that we won’t go back to relegation again,” Jonah said.

The goalkeeper recalled that his last appearance in the NPFL came during his time with Adamawa United and expressed delight at earning another opportunity to compete at the highest level of Nigerian football.

“I last played in the Premier League with Adamawa United some seasons ago and I am happy to be back now,” he added.

Jonah also sent a message to his supporters, assuring them that he has returned stronger and more determined to succeed.

“My fans have been missing me for some time now and I want to tell them that I am back and better than before,” he stated.
