Hard work pays – off as Tijani Aibor Akporo secures a trial with Finland Champions Kups

This is probably one of the best examples of how hard work and persistence pays off to any aspiring footballer out there. Tijani known as TJ has consistently seeked to fulfill his footballing ambitions playing locally with teams such as Cobh Wanderers, St Marys and most recently Middleton.
It is Middleton FC that helped TJ to gain remarkable recognition in local football where he went on to represent Ireland at International Armature level 7 times . In the process TJ plaid games against good sides such as Portugal, England, Slovakia and Northern Ireland. The reputation set by our previouse Nigerian clients at Kups (Azubuike Eguekwe and Gbolahan Salami) plaid a huge part in persuading the Finnish Champions to give TJ an opportunity to impress. Its the next 2 weeks that can be a life changing experience for TJ who may soon find himself playing champions league games in front of huge crowds. #TGBTG#
