**Semi Ajayi Bounces Back: Super Eagles Star Completes Full Game After AFCON Heroics** After a stellar performance in Nigeria's AFCON 2025 third-place win, Super Eagles star Semi Ajayi has finally completed a full 90 minutes for Hull City in their English Championship match against West Bromwich Albion. The 32-year-old centre-back, who has been plagued by hamstring injuries, returned to the pitch with a vengeance but unfortunately, it didn't end in victory for his team. In a match that saw Hull City fall to a disappointing 0-3 loss, goals from Josh Maja, Aune Selland Heggebø, and Isaac Price dealt a significant blow to the Harthorns' play-off aspirations. However, for Semi Ajayi, it was a step in the right direction as he continued his journey back to full fitness. Ajayi, who was a key player for Nigeria in the AFCON 2025 campaign, suffered a setback just before the final whistle in Morocco but has been working tirelessly to return to the pitch. His return to action has been gradual, with appearances for Millwall and Wrexham, but the 90 minutes against West Brom was a significant milestone. When asked about the match, Ajayi was his usual candid self, acknowledging that the team could have turned the game around in the first half. "It's disappointing to lose, especially with three points on the line," he said. "We had some good chances to score, but we didn't take them. The Championship is all about seizing opportunities and limiting the opponent's chances, and we gave them too many today." Despite the loss, Ajayi's performance was a welcome sight for Hull City fans, who will be hoping that their star defender continues to regain his fitness in the coming weeks. With Nigeria's next international assignment just around the corner, Semi Ajayi will be looking to maintain his form and lead the Super Eagles to even greater heights. For now, however, Hull City fans will have to wait for a brighter day, as the team's play-off hopes hang in the balance. But with Semi Ajayi back on the pitch, there's hope for better times ahead.
