Chief of Army Staff (COAS) player, Kelvin Dele told www.aclsports.com that he was born on the handball court when his mother was playing at the Division 2 league.
The former Benue Buffalo said his dream is to play professional handball outside Nigeria.
He said, “I did not really know much about my mother (Rose Dele) during her playing days but I learnt she was heavily pregnant when she took me to the Division 2 handball league in Damaturu.
“They told me my mother gave birth to me in the handball court and that is why till date, those who played alongside my mother always call me Damaturu. She played for Benue Queens as a winger during her active day and I am proud of my mother”.
The pivot player said he is happy to participate in the Prudent Energy Handball League which is one of the biggest competitions in Nigeria.
“I’m sure if I have more playing time, I will become come a better player. Currently, the biggest names in Nigeria handball are in the league, rubbing shoulders with them is definitely going to be at my advantage.
Dele who hails from Kogi state said, “My dream is to play professional handball in other countries and not only Nigeria making much impact”.
