Chairman of Gombe United Football Club, Dr Larry Daniel, has stated that the promotion aspiration of the club to play in the Nigeria Professional Football League, NPFL next season, is non negotiable.

Gombe United fondly ‘Desert Scorpions’ are currently topping their group in the Northern Conference and are also boosting of quality players which has seen them pick points where nobody ever thought possible.

No wonder the chairman has been talking about the quality of his team and believes it will be quite difficult for any club to stop their promotion charge.

“My boys are well motivated, we pay them on time coupled with the fact that we also have quality players which gives me confidence that anywhere we go, we can always beat any team at their home”

He went further by saying “Gombe United have had challenges in the past and we have learnt alot. One thing for me is to ensure that we keep this team together and to do that we must be ready to take care of their basic needs and ensure they get good salary,

“So, even if an offer comes from abroad, the player will have to look at it critically before signing for any club”

Gombe United main challenger is Elkanemi warriors of Maiduguri who they have beaten in Gombe and forced to a draw in Maiduguri
