Pyagbara who got fourteen goals at Sharks last season crossed over to city rivals Dolphins as replacement for Emem Eduok who got 25 goals in all competitions.
Pyagbara admits he is under pressure to score for his new side.
“There is pressure but you can’t let that affect you. If I do not score I will provide assists.
“You do not necessarily have to score many goals but as a striker you have to work hard as you can either score or assist,” Pyagbara said.
“My target however, this season is to score twenty goals,” he said.
Pyagbara would have had to take a tough decision dumping Sharks for Dolphins, knowing the rivalry that exists between both sides.
“It was not easy but I had to take the decision by going for what I wanted.
“I had been at Sharks for two seasons and won nothing so I wanted a change of environments.
“I weighed my odds and Dolphins always go far in tournaments so I chose to join them for the Confederation Cup,” he said.
Pyagbara has already played on game for Dolphins in the 1st leg of the CAF Confederation Cup against Leones Vegetarianos in Malabo two weeks ago.
He is expected to feature in the 2nd leg on Saturday, February 28 at the Port Harcourt Liberation Stadium.
