Nurudeen Orelesi
The switch by Nurudeen Orelesi to Albania’s KF Skenderbeu has hit a snag after the club breached terms under which he was transferred.

Orelesi, who featured for the Nigeria at the FIFA U20 World Cup in 2009, joined Skenderbeu in June 2011 on a loan transfer from Lagos club Eco FC.

The loan move of Orelesi to Skenderbeu ended on May 30, 2012, and in the contract of transfer signed by the Albanian team and Eco, if the former want to extend the player’s stay and sign him to a permanent deal, they would have to buy out his contract.

But ‘The Snow Wolves’ would go ahead and renew the left-footed defender’s contract without recourse to Eco FC.

Jerry Santo
_Jerry Santo has joined Albanian side KF Tirana after leaving Simba in November. The midfielder, who was a hit with Vietnamese side HAGL earlier in the year, has been notably absent from the Kenya national team squad due to match fitness concerns.

He is currently working on his documentation as he tries to avoid the same fate that witnessed former Thika United striker Moses Arita and Sofpaka's ex-defender James Situma delay their return to the club due to visa problems.

The former Tusker midfield maestro will now join a pool of Kenyan players such as captain Dennis Oliech, McDonald Mariga and Victor Wanyama, who have joined top flight European clubs.

Adebayo Adigun
_Former Nigeria U17 defender Adebayo Adigun has signed a three-year contract with Albanian club FK Bylis Ballsh.

Adigun, who previously featured in Japan, was signed along with another Nigerian youngster Ibrahim Mohammed, who was sourced from an academy in Nigeria.

Adigun joined J-League side Kashiwa Reysol in 2009 on a three-year contract but he failed to tie down a first-team place at the club.

Central defender Adigun, son of former Leventis United star Bunmi Adigun, will therefore join up with one-time Eagles goalkeeper Ndubuisi Egbo at the Albanian club.
