Barau FC have completed the signing of Joseph Atule, the Benue State–born Nigerian forward popularly known as AJ7, in a move aimed at strengthening the club’s attacking options.
Atule, who has earned recognition for his performances in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) and his association with the Super Eagles, joins the Kano-based side at a crucial point in the season. The forward is known for his pace, work rate, and eye for goal, qualities Barau FC hope will inject fresh energy into their frontline.
Born in Benue State, Atule’s rise through domestic football has marked him out as one of the promising attackers in the league. His versatility allows him to operate across the front line, offering tactical flexibility and added threat in the final third.
The signing forms part of Barau FC’s broader effort to improve results and consolidate their position in the NPFL. With key fixtures ahead, the club’s technical crew will be banking on Atule’s experience and hunger to make an immediate impact.
Supporters will now be eager to see how quickly AJ7 settles into his new environment and whether his arrival can spark a positive run of form for Barau FC in the weeks ahead.
