Enugu Rangers Refused To Sign Me Because I Was Not Igbo —Super Eagles Star Simon Claims

Super Eagles and Paris FC winger Moses Simon has alleged that he was denied the opportunity to sign for Enugu Rangers early in his football career because he was not igbo.

Simon, who made the claim in an interview with UrbanDwellSport, revealed that he spent three months training with the Flying Antelopes and believed he had done enough to earn a professional contract.

According to the Paris FC forward, members of the coaching staff were impressed with his performances during the trial period, raising his hopes of joining one of Nigeria’s most successful clubs.

“I went to Rangers and trained with them for three months. I wasn’t signed but I was training with them. In fact, I was the captain of the ‘screening’ team.

“I’ve never told anyone this story, this is the first time, but it was a disgrace, I was dropped because I was not Igbo.

“I was there for three months and a guy came I have forgotten his name, he’s an Ibo guy, he just trained one week and they signed him, professional contract, they said because I was from the north or something.”
