Norwegian club SK Brann have secured the services of Nigerian winger, Chinedu Ononogbo, from Right2Win Football Club.
The 18-year-old has signed a contract that keeps him at Brann until 2029. Ononogbo caught the eye of the club’s scouts during a local tournament in January and will begin his journey with Brann’s youth team, with the expectation of eventually progressing to the first team.
Ononogbo Ready for the Challenge
“I am incredibly happy for this opportunity, and will do everything I can to take good care of it. It is not an easy life in Nigeria, so this is a great opportunity for me,” Ononogbo told the club’s official website.
“It’s very cold, but I’ll get used to it quickly. There are very good coaches here, and both the coaches and the players have welcomed me very well.”
Support From Brann
Brann’s sporting director, Per-Ove Ludvigsen, is optimistic about Ononogbo’s future at the club.
“In recent years, we have worked to expand the area from which we recruit new players,” Ludvigsen said.
“We now have a better system for recruiting players from other continents and cultures, because it is important that the players also find their place outside the football field. It will be exciting to see Chinedu’s development in the years to come.”
