“Ibrahim is a talented young player who provides another dynamic option to our attack,” general manager Pat Onstad said in a news release Tuesday. “He is a Nigerian youth international capable of playing as a wide attacking midfielder or striker, and his analytic profile provided by SRC FTBL stood out when reviewing options to bolster our offense.”
Aliyu contributed 17 goals and seven assists in 84 appearances over three seasons with Lokomotiva in the Croatian first division.
