A product of Femmak Football Academy in Ikeja, Godwin’s skill and determination saw him earn a move to Croatian side HNK Gorica. In an unforgettable debut which the striker admittedly holds dearly, he delivered a stellar performance – winning the man of the match award for his two goals and an assist.
Upon his return to Nigeria following the COVID-19 pandemic, Udoh would go on to represent NNL side Vandrezzer FC and most recently, Ibadan-based side Shooting Stars. His reputation as a dangerous forward is well-earned as he contributed an impressive 3 goals and 7 assists for the NPFL side last season.
Looking forward to the imminent kickoff of the NPFL season, Udoh cannot wait to start in front of a Lagos crowd for the first time in his career.
“I have never played for a professional club in Lagos, and that was one thing that really excited me about this move. I can’t wait to play in front of the fans and to show them the players they have. It would be nice to put a smile on their faces.” Udoh said.
The forward would wear the number 9 Jersey in the 2023/24 NPFL season.
Two days ago, the club announced the arrival of Akpesiri Naibe from Rivers United alongside 20-year-old Nnamdi Henry from Dakkada FC.
