Nigerian goalkeeper Bankole joins Gold Geita FC on free transfer

Nigerian goalkeeper Kayode Bankole has joined Tanzanian Premier League club Gold Geita FC on a free transfer after leaving South African PSL side TS Galaxy, where he failed to make an appearance following his 2025 move. The 23‑year‑old signed a one‑year contract with the Geita‑based club after his contract with NPFL champions Remo Stars expired, leaving him inactive for almost a year.

For Nigerian football fans, Bankole’s move highlights the difficulty many home‑grown players face securing regular minutes abroad and shows how African leagues outside Nigeria can serve as a career revival route. It also underscores the trend of Nigerian goalkeepers seeking playing time elsewhere when local clubs do not offer opportunities.

Bankole’s one‑year deal gives him a chance to impress; strong performances could earn him a move back to higher‑profile leagues or a recall to the Super Eagles setup. Supporters who want to follow his progress can tune into Tanzanian Premier League broadcasts or follow Gold Geita FC’s official social media channels for match updates and training news.
