Just when some teams in the Nigeria Premier League were beginning to complain about fatigue, the competition will be going on a mid-term break courtesy, the NPL management board.

The break means a lot to some clubs whose performance in the first half of the season has been a source of worry to their various managements; this is an opportunity for them to reinforce their teams with new players as organisers have said clubs can now sign on new players to fortify their teams. It is  another transfer window which will open immediately after week 19 matches this weekend.

Acting executive secretary of the league body, Tunji Babalola said that clubs were free to recruit new players to fortify their squads for the second round of the season.

“Clubs are allowed to register new players after this weekend’s matches which marks the end of the first round of the league,” said Babalola.

“We have decided to allow the clubs get new players because it is in our program and it will also afford them the opportunity to make their teams stronger.

Clubs can only sign on few players in areas they need to strengthen and they must not exceed 35 players.

The window lasts for a month and by that time, the clubs would have discussed, agreed and cleared the new players to play for their teams,” Babalola said.
