Nigerian midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi, is delighted at joining Danish side SonderjyskE in a bid to revive his career.
The 27-year-old signed a one year contract with the club with an option of two more years.
Onazi was plagued by injuries during his time at Trabzonspor and Denizlispor in the Turkish topflight but believes his move to SonderjyskE could help him regain his old form.
“I am grateful that the club has given me this opportunity,” Onazi told the club’s website.
“I hope I can make a difference and my ambition is to help the team finish as high as possible in the table.
“I am a player who likes to take responsibility and work hard for things and I will do the same here in SonderjyskE. I am very dedicated to this task and I look forward to playing for the club.”
SonderjyskE’s sporting Director, Hans Haysen, is confident the club can help the Nigerian return to his best.
“He is a player with a good resume, he is here due to the injury that put a dent in the wheel for him in 2019 and that is our luck, because otherwise we would not have been close to picking up a player of his calibre.
“We believe that we can get him back on track, but we are also aware that it may take a few weeks before he is back at full speed for 90 minutes,” Haysen told the club website.
SonderjyskE are currently fourth on the 2020/21 log after four games, winning two, with one loss and a draw.
