Ikorodu City FC have announced the departure of centre-back Christian Junior, who joins Finnish side KTP Kotka.
The Nigerian defender moves to the Ykkönen club, which competes in Finland’s second tier. KTP Kotka is based in the city of Kotka on Finland’s south coast. They have secured the centre-back’s services for the upcoming season.
Christian Junior departs Ikorodu City after a spell in which he established himself as a reliable defensive presence for the Lagos-based NPFL club. The 2026/27 season had not yet begun for Ikorodu City. As a result, they will now reorganise their backline ahead of the new season.
