Nigerian football star, Leke James, has added another impressive feat to his collection, graduating with a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Business and Sports Management from the University of Hertfordshire, UK.

The 31-year-old striker, currently a free agent after a successful spell with Turkish club Sivasspor, highlights that this accomplishment doesn't signal his retirement from playing. Instead, James views it as a strategic move to equip himself for the future, ideally within the football industry.

He said, "Bagging a degree does not mean I am retiring from my playing career in football, I am just preparing myself for the future," James emphasised.

"I would love to work within the football sector as I have no intention whatsoever of leaving after playing," he added.

James, known for his exceptional goal-scoring record across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, has left his mark at clubs like Molde FK and Aalesunds FK in Norway. Now, armed with both his on-field talent and academic qualification, James appears well-positioned to make a lasting impact, whether with his next club or within the broader footballing landscape.
