Junior is a product of Remo Stars’ youth academy. He was named the team captain in 2020 as a teenager. He led the team to promotion from the Nigeria National League (NNL) to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) in 2021.
Junior has been a consistent performer for Remo and was the captain when the club won its first-ever league title in 2024.
