Rivers Angels Forward - Vivian Ikechukwu

Some of my friends discouraged me from going to Rivers Angels, they said I wouldn't get play time in Port Hacourt, of course I knew the team was star studded, played against them a couple of times in the league and scored too.

I was confused and had to call my mum, explained everything to her and she asked me what do I really want. I told her I wanted something more in my career and wanted to win trophies as a player.
She told me to follow my heart and so I arrived Port Harcourt the next day, had my medicals two days after, left the hotel and joined the other players at the team's camp.

Everyone at Rivers Angels treated me with so much respect and I felt at home almost immediately.
I will never forget what the Team Manager told me in our first meeting.

She said: " This is an environment where everyone is welcome and treated equally. If you are motivated and want to help us win more trophies, then you've got a place here at Rivers Angels". She concluded.

I have never regretted joining Rivers Angels, and will forever be grateful to God Almighty and my mom who was the only person that encouraged me to join the 'Jewels Of Rivers'.
