Former Nigeria national team goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi leaves South African club Marumo Gallants after one season. The 38-year-old veteran joins eight other players departing the team before the new campaign begins. Akpeyi signed with Marumo Gallants as a free agent last summer following his previous club contract.
The experienced keeper appeared in seven league matches during the 2024-25 season for Siwelele Sa Marumo. His limited playing time suggests he struggled to secure the number one position at the club. Team management decided not to renew his contract for the upcoming season.
Akpeyi built his entire professional career playing for South African teams over many years. He previously wore jerseys for Chippa United, Kaizer Chiefs and Moroka Swallows during his time in the country. The goalkeeper represented Nigeria at international level during his peak years.
His future remains uncertain as he considers retirement or finding another club. Many veteran players face similar decisions at this stage of their careers. Akpeyi must decide whether to continue playing or end his professional football journey.
