Niger Tornadoes Sign Doma United Winger Yusuf Fantami Ahead of New NPFL Season

Niger Tornadoes have strengthened their squad ahead of the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League season with the signing of winger Yusuf Fantami from Doma United.

The Ikon Allah Boys completed the deal on a two-year contract as they continue preparations for the new campaign.

Fantami arrives at Niger Tornadoes after playing an important role in Doma United’s successful promotion back to the NPFL last season. His performances and attacking ability made him one of the key figures in their promotion push.

The winger’s arrival is expected to provide Niger Tornadoes with more attacking options as the club continues to rebuild and improve its squad ahead of the new season.

Fantami becomes one of several new additions at the club, with Niger Tornadoes also securing the signing of Naziru Ibrahim as part of their recruitment drive.

Opinion: Signing players who have recently experienced promotion success can be a smart move for NPFL clubs. Fantami brings hunger, confidence and familiarity with the demands of Nigerian football, and Niger Tornadoes will hope he can turn that momentum into strong performances at the top level.
