Echeta leaves Rivers United, seeks move elsewhere


Deputy Echeta has left Nigeria Premier Football League club, Rivers United.

He joined the former NPFL champions at the start of the 2023-24 season from Bendel Insurance.

According to reports, Echeta decided to end his stay with Rivers United following disagreement with the club’s management.

The discord started during the Port Harcourt’s club away clash at Sunshine Stars.

The former Bendel Insurance forward is understood to be attracting interest from other NPFL clubs.

Echeta netted six goals for Rivers United last season.
