Just 5 days to the start of the new NPFL season, Ikenne-based Remo Stars welcomed the former El Kanemi Warriors player.

Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi has been spotted training with Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side, Remo Stars ahead of the new NPFL season.

The 2013 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) winner who plays for Serie D side Casertana, has like his club teammates, been on holiday following a Christmas break the Italian lower divisions embarked upon from December 21.

Remo Stars shared images of the Onazi on their social media on Tuesday, adding that the Jos-born ex-El Kanemi Warriors player was in Ikenne on a courtesy visit.

In one of the tweets on Tuesday evening, the NPFL club wrote: "Training day but can you sight a guest on our turf??"

"Rightly so, @OnaziOgenyi paid a courtesy visit to our team’s training this Tuesday. Onazi, an AFCON winner with the Super Eagles shared moments with the lads before the session," the club said in a second Twitter post.

Serie D-Group G will return to action on Sunday with Casertana paying a visit to SS Nola 1925. The 30-year-old midfielder who joined Casertana in August, made a return to Italy after six years having left Saudi side Al-Adalah.
