When he was coming to Slovenia, both Olimpija and Maribor were chasing him. The battle was won by the purple side, but they quickly began to regret their decision. Ishaq Rafiu went down in Maribor’s history as one of their biggest flops. The Nigerian played very little, and when given the chance, he didn’t make much of an impact. This was somewhat surprising, as he had been scoring goals in his homeland and even made it to the Nigerian national team.
However, the 2000-born African has left the Styrian capital at the end of the last season but will continue to play in the Prva liga Telemach, in which he has only made six appearances so far. He has become a competitor of Maribor after the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) officially registered him as a new player for Primorje.
Ajdovci are desperately seeking a player who can make a difference in attack, as they have yet to score in their first three matches of the new season. They will pin their hopes on the 23-year-old Nigerian forward, and it will certainly be interesting to see if he can offer significantly more than he did in the purple jersey.
