“All the best, THE BLACK BULLET”
Imade scored ten goals in all competitions for the Benin Arsenals in the 2022/2023 NPFL season (8 league and 2 FA Cup goals), assisting his team to record 21 unbeaten runs in the history of the Nigerian league. Imade also scored the only goal that earned his team an FA Cup win for the first time in 43 years after beating Enugu Rangers 1-0 at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba, in the 2023 Nigeria FA Cup.
Osarenkhoe was discovered by Bendel Insurance during his school days playing for the Uniben Royals in the Nigeria University Games (NUGA) where he scored four goals in total – 3 Pre-NUGA goals and 1 goal, 1 assist in the competition proper at the University of Agriculture, Markudi, Benue State.
The well built forward also shone like a star at the Higher Institution Football League, scoring 2 goals and 1 assist in three games, to further boost his reputation as a budding talent.
Known as the BLACK BULLET by his Ekosodin and Upper lovers, Imade as a petroleum engineering student, won 5 Engineering HOD’s Cups, twice as runner-up in the VC’s game as a Faculty of Engineering student and twice as Dean’s Cup winners as a Department of Petroleum Engineering student.
Many of his lovers would look forward to seeing the player who has given them time to smile while dorning the Yellow and Green jerseys of the former African competition winners.
