Ex-Flying Eagles midfielder Moses Orkuma and former Nigeria Premier Football League Golden Boot winner Anthony Okpotu have completed moves to Iraqi Stars League champions Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya for undisclosed fees.
Orkuma joins Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya after spending last season with Libyan Premier League side Union Military SC, where he made eight appearances across all competitions.
The experienced midfielder has enjoyed a well-travelled career, having previously featured for Lobi Stars, Al-Ahly Benghazi, Étoile Sportive du Sahel, Al Ahli Tripoli, Stade Gabèsien, US Monastir, Umm Salal, Al-Tadamon and Raja Casablanca.
At international level, Orkuma was part of the Nigeria squad that won the bronze medal at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and also represented the Flying Eagles at the Fifa U20 World Cup later that year.
Okpotu earned recognition after finishing as the Nigeria Premier Football League's leading scorer in 2017.
He also claimed the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 Golden Boot with 13 goals during his spell at US Monastir.
The prolific forward has also played for Lobi Stars, Al-Ittihad Tripoli, Difaâ Hassani El Jadidi, Laçi, Qatar SC, Al Masry, Al-Ain, Al-Adalah and Al-Jandal.
On the international stage, Okpotu played a pivotal role in Nigeria's run to the final of the 2018 African Nations Championship, contributing two goals and one assist in six appearances for the Super Eagles.
