ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — Ethiopian international Abubeker Nasir has confirmed he will return to the Ethiopian Premier League after four years away in South Africa.
The 26-year-old forward, formerly of Ethiopia Bunna (Ethiopian Coffee), still holds the league record of 29 goals in 24 matches in a single season. He is currently evaluating offers and is expected to announce his new club soon.
Nasir joined Mamelodi Sundowns in 2022 but struggled for consistent game time due to injuries. He later spent loan spells at SuperSport United and University of Pretoria without establishing himself as a regular. Although recently linked with other South African clubs, the former Ethiopia national team attacker has opted to continue his career back home.
The move ends a challenging chapter in the Betway Premiership and offers the speedy left-winger/forward a chance to rediscover the prolific form that first made him a standout in Ethiopian football.
