Goalkeeper and Captain of Nigeria Women Football League Champions, Rivers Angels, Lucky Atu has drawn the curtains on her illustrious professional football career.
Atu who was captain of the NWFL champions from 2008-2016 won two league titles and five Federation cup titles one of which was in 2008, when the former State Governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi rewarded players and officials with cars.
The Delta born keeper in a chat with the club’s media officer, Jessica Amadi said her playing time was a memorable one.
“In the game of football, there has to be a day you’ll stop, so I think this is my time to call it quit”
“In my playing career with this club, I have won a good number of laurels of which we were rewarded with cars by the former governor of the state” she said.
Subsequently, Lucky Atu has been drafted into the coaching crew of the NWFL reigning champions as assistant goalkeeper trainer by the club’s management.
A post she is thrilled with. “Now that I have retired from being a goalkeeper to being an assistant goalkeeper trainer, I am very happy and ok with the position” she told the club’s media team.
