Lagos State University graduate, Kehinde Ozein Hamzat, has joined Turkish football club Fişekspor ahead of the new season.

Kehinde, a winger, graduated from LASU in 2026 after studying Human Kinetics, Sports and Health Education under the university’s Faculty of Education.

He previously obtained a diploma before proceeding with his full-time undergraduate studies at the university.

The 2026 graduate also represented the LASU male football team, the Trail Blazers, during his time at the institution.

Kehinde subsequently played for several grassroots football teams in Lagos and its environs before securing a move to Turkey.
