Ifeanyi is our only striker, he’s so reliable he’s a warrior, and outside the pitch, he’s a wonderful and a jovial person.

“We are definitely going to miss him, the entire NPFL family will miss him too,” Itoya told brila.net.

During his time, Ifeayin George played for Enyimba International of Aba and won the Nigerian professional football league title with the Aba giants.
