Shehu Abdullahi has said the love and warmth from Kano Pillars was the reason behind his decision to make a return to the club.
Abdullahi was on the books of the four-time Nigeria Premier Football League NPFL champions for two years 2012-14 before moving abroad.
The 31-year-old rejoined the Sai Masu Gida for a second stint last week.
The versatile defender featured as a substitute in Kano Pillars 2-0 home win against Sunshine Stars last Sunday.
"I'm happy to be here, Kano Pillars is our club, everyone is proud of it. It is always a dream to see us come back to where we started our journey," Abdullahi told Kano Pillars media.
