NPFL Player of Week (6) – Youngster Stanley Joseph propels Remo Stars back to the top

The NPFL Player of Week 6 is Stanley Joseph of Remo Stars.

Remo Stars are back on top of the standings thanks to a goal and assist by Stanley Joseph against visiting Nasarawa United.

Remo Stars won 3-0 at home with Joseph providing the assist with a delightful cross for experienced striker Sikiru Alimi to open scoring in the 51^st minute.

The young central defender, who has come through from the Beyond Limits Academy, then scored his own goal off a loose ball from a corner on the hour to give the home team a two-goal cushion.

He is a left-sided central defender who loves to join the attack and who has been part of the NPFL since last season after he was promoted from Beyond Limits a year ago.

He made his NPFL debut in October 2023 at 18.

He was a key player when Beyond Limits made history by becoming the first Nigerian team to win the highly-rated Viareggio Tournament in Italy earlier this year.
