The remaining players were scouted from various academies across Benue State. All the new signings are currently in Jos, training with the team as they gear up for the upcoming season.
Meanwhile, Plateau United is set to unveil their new signings today at the New Jos Stadium.
The unveiling ceremony, originally planned for earlier this month, was postponed due to nationwide protests.
Plateau United, who finished fifth last season and missed out on a continental spot, will kick off their 2024-25 campaign against Katsina United on Saturday, August 31.
