Sporting Lagos honour captain Solomon Uloko after 50 appearances

Sporting Lagos have honoured captain Solomon Uloko with a commemorative plaque after he reached 50 appearances for the club during their Lagos derby against Ikorodu City, Made In Africa Sport reports.

The defender was presented with the plaque before Sporting Lagos‘ Nigeria Premier Football League match against Bendel Insurance on Sunday, October 12, 2026, which they won 2–1 at home.

According to a statement on the club’s website, the milestone reflects Uloko’s growing influence since joining the club, both as a regular presence in the team and as its captain.

Uloko established himself as a regular member of the Sporting Lagos squad last season, making 18 league appearances and playing 1,755 minutes throughout the campaign.

His consistent involvement has made him an important figure in the team’s defensive setup as the Lagos-based club continue their push in Nigerian football.

The defender’s contribution has extended beyond his performances on the pitch, with his leadership role growing during the previous campaign.

From Sporting Lagos regular starter to club captain

Uloko took over the captaincy midway through last season following the departure of Abdulraheem Suleman.

He embraced the responsibility and played a key role in Sporting Lagos’ promotion campaign, including scoring a brace against Doma United in the Nigeria National League (NNL) Super 4.

His appointment as captain marked another step in his development at the club, with the defender becoming an increasingly prominent figure within the squad.

The presentation before the Bendel Insurance match gave Sporting Lagos an opportunity to acknowledge Uloko’s contribution in front of the club’s supporters.

The occasion ended on a positive note as Sporting Lagos secured their third victory of the season.

The win provided an additional boost for the team as they continued their survival in the top flight, moving to eighth place on the NPFL log with 12 points from eight games.
