Nduka Junior Harrison (born 1 August 2003) is a Nigerian footballer who captains Remo Stars F.C. in the Nigeria Professional Football League and plays as a central defender.
Career
[edit]Nduka Junior started representing the Remo Stars at under-17 level.[1] He was appointed vice-captain of the club ahead of the 2019-20 Nigeria National League season behind club captain Saheed Lasisi.[2] Nduka Junior’s first game as captain came in the first game of that season, on 25 November 2019 and he marked it with the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win against Lamray United F.C.[3][4] Lasisi left the club by mutual consent in September 2020.[5]
A year later, on 26 September 2021 under Nduka Junior’s captaincy Remo Stars gained promotion to the Nigerian Professional Football League.[6] As captain, Nduka Junior has spoken about his desire to keep Remo Stars playing in the Nigerian top flight as the club has suffered from previous relegations.[7] Nduka Junior personally impressed with reports coming that had “shown his quality with some brilliant displays”,[8] and that he had “been a revelation this season. A constant threat from set-pieces”,[9] including scoring a free-kick in a 1-0 win over eventual champions Rivers United.[10]
In September 2022, Nduka Junior played for the first time in the CAF Confederation Cup after qualification was earned from the Remo Stars finishing 3rd in the 2021-22 Nigeria Professional Football League.[11]
