Omonia completes transfer of David Akintola from Hull City

Omonia has officially announced the return of 30-year-old Nigerian forward David Akintola, who joins the club on a two-year contract from English side Hull City. The announcement, which took place on September 9, 2026, confirmed that the player has been assigned the number 8 jersey. Akintola, who previously played for Omonia during the 2019-20 season, arrives in Nicosia to bolster the team's attacking options following a successful period in the English Championship where he helped Hull City achieve promotion to the Premier League.

Following his medical examination, the player is immediately available for domestic competitions, including the league and the Cypriot Cup. However, he will not be eligible for Omonia’s European campaign until the knockout stages, as the current squad lists for the league phase have already been finalized. Akintola brings extensive experience from his five-year tenure in the Turkish league with Adanaspor, Rizespor, and Hatayspor, and his arrival is expected to provide a significant boost to the team's competitiveness for the remainder of the season.
