Ambrose commits to Kaduna



Kaduna United centre-back, Emmanuel Ambrose said he has committed himself to his side's campaign for the upcoming 2012/2013 NPL season.

The United strongman was pivotal in his side's last day game 3-1 win against Lobi Stars in Kaduna which cemented their spot in the elite league on 49 points.

Ambrose said United will be the team to beat next season.

"Yes, I'm staying for my side's campaign next season. We're already in camp training for the start of the season.

"That tells you the level of seriousness we're attaching to our league campaign next season.

"Kaduna United will be the team to beat, we'll challenge for titles. Virtually all the old players are on ground an indication that we'll never struggle as we did in the out gone season.

"We expect things to be better both for the players and the team, expect a massive turn around for the team in the coming 2012/2013 season," the Kaduna United captain told supersport.com.

Ambrose said he would rather dwell on the future than to keep ruing over their performance in the 2011/2012 season.

"The 2011/2012 season is over, it's history, thank God we survived relegation. We've resolved to march forward and make sure the mistakes of the past are avoided in the next season," he said.
