A major striker is leaving the Malawi football club he has been with this season. Nigerian-born forward Babatunde Adepoju has ended his loan spell with FCB Nyasa Big Bullets, returning to his parent club Venda Sports Academy in South Africa. Adepoju was the team's joint top scorer with fifteen goals, powering them to a second-place league finish. Despite the club's efforts to retain him for the Champions League, his loan deal expired and could not be extended.
In a social media post, Adepoju thanked the Bullets fans, management, and teammates for their support, acknowledging they fell short of a league title but shared the golden boot award. His departure creates a significant gap in the team's attack, removing a proven match-winner. However, his story with Malawian football might not be completely over. Adepoju holds a Malawian national ID card, keeping the door open for a potential future call-up to the national team, meaning fans could still see him play for the country even as he exits the domestic league.
