Desirous to take his game to greater heights, former Golden Eaglets striker Kehinde Abdulrasheed Ayinde has teamed up with Spanish 3rddivision side CD Madridejos after stint with Lithuanian outfit FK Ekranas .
The lithe striker who was a sensation in the formative stage of coach Emmanuel Amuneke -led national U-17 World Cup-winning team of 2015, said the desire to step up his game necessitated quitting Lithuania for Spain, adding Madridejos has offered him the platform to harness his potential.
The former ABS youngster was a hit with Ekranas as he scored some 20 goals to help the side secured promotion to the Lithuanian Lyga 1 before both parties parted ways on mutual consent as he failed to get a deserved incremental wages.

Ayinde who had a short stint with CD Pedroneras on arriving Spain early this year before being snapped up by CD Madridejos, said he was ready to justify the confidence of his new employers.
“ I’m happy to be here at this time with Madridejos because it’s an opportunity to show what I can do and I’m hopeful bigger things will come soon,” he said.“ Leaving Lithuania for Spain would on the long run boost my career.”
Ayinde has tried to get his career back on track in Spain after being out for five months. His move to Madridejos was brokered by UK-based Top Talents Sports Management.
The 24-year-old striker who has been handed the number 9 jersey at Madridejos made his debut after he came on as a second half substitute in a 2-2 home draw against CD Villza at their Campo de Futbalo Nuevo home ground.
