“I’m thrilled to be here,” Tanimu said. “Growing up in Nigeria, we all watched the English Premier League, so coming to England is a huge step for me. I’m very happy to join Crawley Town.”
“Coming to England is a great opportunity for me to showcase my abilities,” he continued. “I’m also here to help Crawley Town reach the highest level of English football.”
Before joining Crawley, Tanimu had a successful season with Singida FC in Tanzania, which earned him a call-up to the Super Eagles. Despite his experience, the defender admitted that the move to England was unexpected.
“I was surprised to be coming to England,” he said. “I had offers from several African countries, but when I heard about Crawley’s interest, I thought, ‘Why not?’ So I jumped at the chance. I’m a player who is always ready to learn, work hard to improve, and I love winning.”
