German Regionalliga Nord champions VfB Lubeck has acquired the services of Austrian-born Nigerian midfielder, Osarenren Okugbowa on a year contract from Austrian division two team, Floridsdorfer AC, where he spent 18 months, distinguishing himself in the heart of the midfield.
Okugbowa said after his signature: “I had very good discussions with trainer Rolf Landert. These discussions made it easy for me to step away from home for the first time. I’m looking forward to the challenge in the far north.”
The new signee who is expected to begin training with his new teammates at VfB Lubeck, in mid-July is known to be a talented natural-born left-footer, a scarce gem in modern football, which gives the edge as a player who can easily hold his own slot in any defensive midfield position.
Born to Nigerian parents, Okugbowa had previously starred for Austrian giants, Rapid Vienna, for eight years, between 2010-2018. He also played for St. Polten, earning high marks for his disciplined defensive display.
