Theophilus Solomon (born January 18, 1996) is a Nigerian footballer under contract with HNK Rijeka in Croatia. He is currently on loan to NK Zadar in Croatia's Prva HNL.
Because of his fast pace and skills, Solomon has been referred to as 'Nigerian Ronaldo' by the media in his home country.[1] Born in Kaduna, he was one of several players who moved from the Nigerian Abuja Football College Academy to the HNK Rijeka youth team in 2012.[2] After signing his first professional contract in January 2014,[3] he was loaned to NK Pomorac in Druga HNL. Following his return from loan, in mid-2014, he picked up the most valuable player and top-scorer award with seven goals in five matches at the 62nd edition of the international Kvarnerska Rivijera tournament with the Rijeka youth team. In August 2014, he was loaned to Zadar until the end of the 2014–15 Prva HNL season.[4]
