Former Nigeria U-20 defender Ikouwem Udo Utin has re-signed with Shooting Stars just a few months after departing the club.

Utin, who featured for 3SC during the 2022–23 season, had left the club to join Tunisian side AS Marsa.

However, due to inadequate playing time in Tunisia, he is now set to return to Shooting Stars.

Negotiations between Utin and Shooting Stars have reportedly progressed well, with the player expressing keen interest in rejoining the club.

Before his stint with the Oluyole Warriors, Utin had also played for Enyimba and had a spell in Israel.

Shooting Stars finished fourth in the NPFL last season.
