Mustapha Jibrin has completed a move to Ranchers Bees FC from Kano Pillars, with the newly promoted Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) club confirming the signing ahead of the 2026/27 season. The attacker becomes one of Ranchers Bees’ latest additions as they prepare for their return to Nigeria’s top flight.
Jibrin arrives after an impressive campaign with Kano Pillars. He made 23 league appearances, scored five goals, and registered two assists during the NPFL 2025/2026 season. His consistent performances made him one of the club’s key attacking players and an attractive target for Ranchers Bees.
Ranchers Bees earned promotion to the NPFL after finishing top of Conference D in the Nigeria National League (NNL). The Kaduna-based club secured a historic return to the top division, ending an absence of nearly two decades.
The club has now strengthened its squad with the signing of Jibrin as it looks to build a competitive team capable of competing in the NPFL next season.
Jibrin is known for his versatility across the attacking line. Although he primarily plays as a left winger, he can also operate on the right wing or through the middle as a centre-forward.
The Nigerian attacker has represented several clubs during his career, including Kano Pillars, Gombe United and Benfica Macau. During his spell in Macau, he impressed with his goalscoring ability before returning to Nigerian football. He has also represented Nigeria at senior international level in a friendly match.
Ranchers Bees are strengthening their squad with experienced players as they prepare for life back in the NPFL. Jibrin’s pace, creativity and eye for goal could prove valuable as the club aims to establish itself in the top flight after its long-awaited return.
