Esperance of Tunisia defender, Samuel Pila Atavti has expressed his desire to give his best in the camp of the Under 23 team after his arrival for the team’s build up to the 2019 CAF U23 AFCON slated for Egypt.
Atavti was discovered from a kickabout tournament in Gboko, Benue State two years ago organized by a former U20 international defender of Union Sportive Monastir also in the Tunisian league, Moses Orkuma.
He put the tournament in place to scout any of his kinsmen who is endowed with football skills for his former team, Stade Gabesien and it was there the outstanding Atavti was snapped up.
Atavti signed a five-year contract with Stade Gabesien after he impressed while on trials with them after his outstanding performance in the tournament organised in Gboko and he rose through the rank to become a regular player in his first and only season with them.
He had to change club at the end of last season after Stade Gabesien were relegated to the lower league and it was a career-changing opportunity when Esperance came calling for him at the start of the current campaign.
The defender told SportingLife.ng that he is eager to make his invitation count.
“It was just like a whirlwind and I am grateful to God for it when I got a call from coach Imama
Amapakabor that I am needed in the camp and that I must start coming immediately,” Atavti told SportingLife.ng.
