At 44, Rabiu Ali isn’t showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon.
He started the new season from where he left off last term, scoring two goals, including a free kick in their opening weekend win over Ikorodu City.
Last season, Ali was unarguably Kano Pillars’s best player, scoring 10 goals plus nine assists in 34 games. Although there are no accurate records, he believes he has scored over 100 goals in the league.
Ali’s name will definitely go down as one of the greatest and longest-serving players in the history of the Nigerian topflight, as he is currently in his 18th season.
Ali made his league debut in 2006 with Nasarawa United before moving to Kano Pillars in 2009, where he won three back-to-back titles in 2012, 2013, and 2014.
