Adding to the anticipation of a revitalized campaign, a new Technical Adviser is set to join the Warri Wolves, bringing fresh perspectives and strategies to the team. The club has also hinted at the introduction of new players to strengthen the squad further. Training under the new Technical Adviser is scheduled to begin on Monday, February 12th, and all players, both retained and newly signed, are required to report to camp, with the club emphasizing that any absence will result in disciplinary actions.
