Newly promoted Nigeria Premier Football League side Ranchers Bees have strengthened their squad with the signing of experienced defender Kabiru Mohammed from Kwara United FC ahead of the 2026/27 NPFL season, Trybal News reports.
The Kaduna-based club confirmed that Mohammed has signed a two-year contract after successfully agreeing personal terms, becoming one of the club’s key additions as preparations intensify for their return to top-flight football.
Although initially announced as a midfielder, Mohammed is primarily a left-back known for his versatility, leadership, and extensive experience in the Nigerian top flight. His arrival is expected to provide both stability and depth to the Ranchers Bees squad as they seek to establish themselves among the country’s elite clubs.
Mohammed joins Ranchers Bees after a successful spell with Kwara United, where he played an important role in the club’s historic triumph in the 2025 President Federation Cup. His wealth of experience and winning mentality are seen as valuable assets for a team aiming to compete strongly in its first season back in the NPFL.
The move also marks a homecoming for the defender, who returns to the club where his football journey began. Ranchers Bees believe his familiarity with the club’s culture and his top-flight experience will make him an influential figure both on and off the pitch.
Ranchers Bees secured promotion to the NPFL following an impressive campaign in the Nigeria National League and have since embarked on an ambitious recruitment drive to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
The signing of Kabiru Mohammed signals the club’s intent to build a competitive team capable of holding its own in the NPFL while laying the foundation for long-term success in Nigeria’s top division.
