Abia Warriors coach Isa Ladan Bosso has described new-found striker Ndifreke Effiong as an asset any team would want to have because of his versatility.
On Sunday, Effiong fired a brace for Abia Warriors to beat FC Taraba 3-1 at the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba.
The Akwa Ibom State-born utility player nodded in an Osita Egbo perfect cross in the 52nd minute and then converted a free kick six minutes later to earn Abia Warriors a 3-1 home win.
He has now netted five goals in his last four matches.
Bosso saluted his versatility.
“Ndifreke to be sincere to ourselves is an asset to this team (Abia Warriors), an asset to Abia State and an asset to this country because he is a player who every determined and serious coach will like to have in his team,” he remarked.
“He is a player who can play from the defence, from the midfield and from the attack, and even from the goalpost because in one training session, I used him as a goalkeeper and he did very well.”
