Samson Tijani : Biography, Salary & Net Worth In Naira And Euros (2025)

Early Life: From Enugu Boy to European Star

Ah, the journey of Samson Okikiola Tijani is one that gives hope to every Naija boy with a dream and a ball. Born on 17 May 2002 in Enugu, this guy grew up like many of us — chasing football on dusty pitches, dodging okadas, and dreaming big.

He started his career with Collins Edwin Sports Club — a name you might not hear every day, but one that helped shape this baller’s foundation. From there, his talent was too loud to ignore. By 2020, European scouts came calling like NEPA during blackouts. And boom — he signed for Red Bull Salzburg in Austria. Wahala for who no sabi play ball.

Let’s not lie, Europe wasn’t a small feat. He moved like a proper journeyman, collecting experience and peppering pitches all over the continent.

• Red Bull Salzburg (2020–2025): Started with Salzburg, trained with the big boys, and eventually made his pro debut in the Austrian Cup.

• TSV Hartberg (2020–21 loan): First taste of top-flight football in Austria. He didn’t waste time — played 18 league matches and held his own like a veteran.
