Former Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo has denied reports that he signed for Nigeria Professional Football League side, Kano Pillars.
The 36-year-old defender announced his retirement in June but reached an agreement with the League Management Company to play for a domestic league club as a means of promoting and adding value to the league by attracting more spectators to the various league match venues.
