Another Ejike Ugboaja FC player Gabriel Abu, a 19-year-old attacker signed a three-and-half-year contract with Corvinul in 1921 Hunedoara FC of Romania.
Abu said he is happy that he is going to take his career to a professional level and he vowed to represent Nigeria well in his foreign club while appreciating the management of Corvinul 1921 Hunedoara FC of Romania for founding him worthy to play for them and to the management of Ejike Ugboaja FC for giving him the opportunity to showcase his talent to the world.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ejike Ugboaja FC, Christopher Ejike Ugboaja, has reiterated his commitment to giving young Nigerians the opportunity to showcase themselves to the world, both in basketball, American football and soccer, adding that more players from Ejike Ugboaja FC will soon sign their pro-contract and jet out of the country.
He said, “We have good, young, and hungry-for-success players here in our club, so by the grace of God on a regular basis, our players would be signing contracts for clubs in Europe and other places.
“My target is to produce players who if invited to play for the country will bring back the lost glory of Nigeria football. They are going to be dedicated, committed, and ready at all times to defend the country whenever they put on the jersey just like we did in basketball during our days.”
