Babatunde Adepoju extends loan deal with FCB Nyasa Big Bullets

Nigerian international Babatunde Adepoju has extended his loan deal with FCB Nyasa Big Bullets until December, boosting the team’s prospects ahead of the 2025 season. This move is a significant coup for the club, which had been keen to retain his services.
FCB Nyasa Big Bullets head coach Peter Mponda expressed delight at Babatunde’s decision to extend his loan deal. Mponda revealed that he was worried about losing Babatunde, but the player’s decision to stay has alleviated his concerns ahead of the new season. “He is a very good player; his work rate at the team has contributed a lot so he is a good signing,” Mponda said.
Babatunde joined FCB Nyasa Big Bullets in 2022 from Mighty Mukuru Wanderers and has since become an integral part of the team. During his time with the People’s Team, he has won the Airtel Top 8 and TNM Super League golden boots. His impressive performances earned him a move to Venda Football Club in South Africa, but he struggled to replicate his form. However, his loan spell back at FCB Nyasa Big Bullets in 2024 was highly successful, with over 15 goals scored in all competitions.
Babatunde expressed his excitement about extending his stay with FCB Nyasa Big Bullets, citing the team’s role in his growth and development as a player. He is eager to continue contributing to the team’s success.
There were rumors that other local clubs, including Mighty Mukuru Wanderers FC and Cleck Sporting Club, were interested in signing Babatunde. However, his decision to extend his loan deal with FCB Nyasa Big Bullets demonstrates his loyalty and dedication to the team.
