Rizespor, who parade Nigeria stars Nosa Igiebor and Godfrey Oboabona, will feature in the Turkish lower league next season after they were relegated yesterday.

Rizespor won 1-0 at home against Alanyaspor, but it was not enough to save them as Bursaspor also won at Trabzonspor.

Rizespor, who have flirted with the dreaded drop for several seasons, thus joined Gaziantepspor and Adanaspor on the relegation train.

Igiebor was a late substitute for Rizespor, while another Nigerian Bright Edomwonyi started for the dame team.

Oboabona was not listed for the final game of the season.

Super Eagles-bound Omeruo was replaced for the second half by Alanyaspor.
