Apart from working together with the CHAN team in 2025, Ogunmodede and Alimi worked at Remo Stars where they both won the club’s first and only NPFL title in 2025.
The forward has previously played for Warri Wolves, Shooting Stars, Sunshine Stars and a host of others in the Nigerian league.
Ogunmodede will hope that the addition of Alimi can improve his side’s goal scoring as the 2026/27 season progresses.
