MUHAMED TIJANI

First game: 11 August 2024 Last game: 27 September 2024

Nigerian-born Tijani played much of his youth football at 36 Lion FC before joining Czech side Banik Ostrava's youth system at the age of 18 in September 2018. Almost a year later, he signed his first professional contract having featured for the Nigerian under-20 side in the FIFA under-20 World Cup, making his debut against Qatar on May 24th and scoring his first goal six days later from the penalty spot against Ukraine.
He returned to Ostrava before heading out on loan to FK Trinec in the Czech National League. This was followed by another loan spell at MFK Korvina in the Czech First League before he finally made his debut for Banik Ostrava in August 2020 in a 2-2 draw with C. Budejovice. His first goal for Ostrava came in a 3-0 win over Pardubice, his only strike in ten appearances during the first half of the season. A second loan spell, back at Trinec, transpired during the second half of the 2020/21 campaign as Tijani sought to gain experience and game time. The following season saw him begin to flourish during a loan spell at Taborsko in the Czech National League where he found the net 13 times in 33 appearances. This earned him a run in the Banik Ostrava side during the following campaign, where he scored 10 goals in 32 games, with the majority coming in a spell of seven goals in eight games towards the end of the 2022/23 season.
A move to Slavia Prague beckoned for a fee in the region of 1.2 million euros and Tijani's first goal for his new club came against his former employers in a 1-0 victory in just his third appearance. He made his Europa League bow in the following game and found the net in a 2-0 victory over Zorya. By the end of the campaign, he had racked up 30 appearances across all competitions, scoring four times, as Slavia Prague finished as runners up in the Czech First League.
On July 2nd 2024, the powerful 6ft 2in striker joined Argyle on a season-long loan and made his debut at Hillsborough against Sheffield Wednesday on the opening day of the 2024-25 season.
