Nigerian forward Moses Ebiye has officially joined Faroe Islands Premier League champions Havnar Bóltfelag, marking a new chapter in his football career after leaving Scottish club Motherwell at the end of the 2024–25 season. The 28-year-old striker signed a three-year contract with the club, which runs until 2027, following the expiration of his deal with Motherwell, where he made 39 appearances and scored seven goals. Havnar Bóltfelag, known for their dominance in Faroese football, have secured 24 league titles and 27 runner-up finishes, making them the most decorated club in the nation’s top tier.
Ebiye’s move to the Faroe Islands comes after a series of stints in Nigeria and Norway, where he built a solid reputation as a reliable goal-scorer. He began his professional journey with Akwa United before moving to Norway, where he played for Lillestrøm, HamKam, Tromsø, and Aalesund. During his time in the Norwegian top flight, he netted 19 goals, showcasing his ability to perform at a high level. In the OBOS-ligaen, he added 12 goals and seven assists across 42 appearances, further proving his consistency and impact on the pitch.
His final outing for Motherwell came on May 18, 2025, when he came off the bench to score the equalising goal in a 1–1 draw against Ross County, ending the season on a positive note. The goal highlighted his composure and finishing ability, qualities that likely attracted Havnar Bóltfelag to him. The Faroese club, known for their strong domestic record and competitive spirit, will now rely on Ebiye’s experience and scoring prowess to maintain their position at the top of the league.
Ebiye’s signing is a significant boost for Havnar Bóltfelag as they prepare for the upcoming season, aiming to extend their legacy of success in the Faroe Islands Premier League. His international experience and proven track record in competitive leagues make him a valuable addition to the squad. Nigerian football fans will be watching closely as he adapts to the unique challenges of playing in the Faroe Islands, a region known for its tough weather conditions and passionate local support.
This move underscores the growing global reach of Nigerian talent, as players like Ebiye continue to seek opportunities abroad. His journey from Akwa United to Norway and now the Faroe Islands reflects the determination and adaptability of Nigerian professionals in the sport. As the new season approaches, Ebiye’s performance could play a key role in Havnar Bóltfelag’s pursuit of another league title, while also providing inspiration for young Nigerian players aspiring to play overseas.
