Owolabi believes he can help his club make an impact in the Benin Handball top flight league and the African Handball Club Championships.

He said, “I am happy to join my fellow compatriot; Hakeem Salami in HaDjijia HC. This moves means a lot to me because I want to rediscover myself away from my comfort zone. I have been playing in the Nigeria Handball League since it was revived under the President of Handball Federation of Nigeria, Sam Ocheho and I believe I am ripe to play outside the country.
