Nigeria defender Molade Olanrewaju completes move to NK Bravo

Nigeria centre-back Molade Olanrewaju has joined Slovenian club NK Bravo from Ikorodu City, completing a move that takes the 22-year-old into the Prva Liga. The transfer was completed on 4 September 2026, with Olanrewaju signing a contract that runs until 30 June 2027.

The left-footed defender arrives at Bravo after spending the opening part of the 2026-27 campaign with Ikorodu City in the Nigeria Professional Football League. He made the move to the Lagos-based club from FC Heartland on 31 January 2026, having previously joined Heartland from Giant Brillars in August 2024.

Olanrewaju’s switch to Slovenia marks his first recorded move outside Nigeria. He has been used as a centre-back and is listed at 1.87m, giving Bravo a defender who can operate centrally and provide a left-footed option in the position.

His transfer comes after a short spell at Ikorodu City, following his arrival from Heartland earlier in 2026. Olanrewaju did not make an appearance in the available 2026-27 league record before the move, with no goals or assists recorded during that campaign.

Bravo will be Olanrewaju’s fourth senior club. His career path has taken him from Giant Brillars to FC Heartland, then Ikorodu City, before his departure for European football. The move also places him in a new domestic competition after his previous clubs competed in Nigeria’s professional league system.

Olanrewaju’s listed market value is €25,000, while the transfer agreement does not include a published fee. His contract with NK Bravo is valid through the end of June 2027, completing his move from Ikorodu City.
