Among the rising stars in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) this season, Kumater Shina of Nasarawa United has been one of the standout performers.

The versatile 18-year-old midfielder has been instrumental for the Solid Miners, featuring in 27 of their 31 matches despite the club’s struggles in the relegation zone. His ability to play multiple roles on the pitch has made him an invaluable asset.

Kumater’s impressive showing in Nasarawa United’s narrow 1-0 loss to Kwara United on Wednesday further reinforced his reputation as one of Nigeria’s most promising young footballers.

With his consistency and talent, the youngster is expected to attract interest from top clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.
