In one of the most rapidly evolving positions in football, engaging in lengthy conversations about the right back position in world football was not something most soccer enthusiasts would have. well, things have changed a little.
Judging modern day right backs entails more than just defensive capabilitie, as a certain Joshua Okwaraji seamlessly fits into the modern football dictates, bombing down the flank and even inverting into midfield.
As versatile as they come, Joshua Okwaraji has seen his stock rise exponentially in recent times at Petson Football Club under the tutelage of Coach Emma Dickson. Renowned for his energy, tactical awareness and attacking mindset, he combines defensive solidity with attacking contributions and has become a staple under Emma Dickson at Aba based football outfit Petson Football Club.
Joshua has excelled in domestic leagues, having previously featured for the likes of Yobe Desert Stars, Go-Round FC, Abia Comets FC in the second tier of Nigerian football, the 20-year-old defender brings the sort of athleticism to a match that can put the frighteners on opponents. His pace makes him ideal for any team’s aggressive high line, which necessitates plenty of tracking back.
A surprising rarity these days, Joshua at full-back is a world class defender first and foremost primed for Top-flight football.
NPFL teams; throw the bait, He’s worth the bargain.
