Duru says his Rivers United teammate deserves accolade for the way he’s fought for his starting berth at the club this season.

He told Lodgexpress.com: “He’s been really amazing and brilliant. I’ve always enjoyed playing with Morice and I’ve been enjoying my time on the pitch with him both in matches and in trainings since I came here. We play well together and cause other teams quite a lot of problems all thanks to his dominance in the midfield.

“Morice has been brilliant for us so far this season with his work-rate and the way he penetrates defenders with his runs and inch-perfect passes too. In many cases in the game of football, a lot of hard work can go without notice.

“He’s really good at set-pieces and scores from direct freekicks. It’s really great to see that now he’s getting all the credit and rewards he so deserves.”
