Fatokun’s move sees him join one of Africa’s oldest clubs. Al-Merrikh SC is currently competing in the Mauritania league due to the ongoing Sudanese civil war, following in the footsteps of former Enyimba FC captain Ojo Olorunleke, who joined the club last year.
Since his arrival at Remo Stars from Kwara United, Fatokun has been a vital part of the team’s success. His exceptional skill, vision, and work rate have established him as one of the NPFL’s top midfielders.
Fatokun’s role at Al-Merrikh SC will be to contribute to the team’s continued dominance in Sudanese football. The Red Devils boast a storied history, with numerous domestic titles and a past appearance as CAF Confederation Cup runners-up.
This move is expected to be a significant step forward in Fatokun’s career. He’ll have the chance to compete at a higher level and gain valuable experience in international competitions.
