Nigerian forward Suleman Shaibu has signed a new one-year contract extension with Congolese giants TP Mazembe, extending his stay with the club, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Shaibu's journey at the Lubumbashi-based side has been one of the most remarkable stories in African football.

Originally signed as a goalkeeper, the Nigerian was forced into an unexpected career switch after TP Mazembe's FIFA-imposed transfer ban prevented the club from signing foreign players.

With the club in need of attacking options, Shaibu was converted into a striker, a role he embraced with impressive determination.

The Nigerian quickly adapted to his new position, earning recognition for his performances in attack and establishing himself as a dependable forward for the Ravens.

His latest contract extension is a reward for his resilience and versatility, with TP Mazembe showing continued faith in the player as they prepare for the new season.
