Super Eagles winger, Ejike Uzoenyi joins Mamelodi Sundowns

Top South African club, Mamelodi Sundowns, has signed Super Eagles winger, Ejike Uzoenyi , on a four-year contract, the club announced on Thursday.


According to the official website of Sundowns, Uzoenyi will join the team in June.

Negotiations for the player’s acquisition have been ongoing since after the CHAN Tournament and the player is excited to have finally concluded the deal.

“Joining a club like Sundowns is a great deal for me because the club’s ambitions to conquer Africa are in line with my career objectives as a player,” MTNFootball.com quoted Uzoenyi as saying on the club website.

“The other thing that made me join the club is that Coach Pitso had a chat with me before I joined and we had a discussion about his plans for me and I feel that I’m ready for the challenge.”

The Enugu Rangers left winger was the top star at CHAN, where his goals helped Nigeria to finish third.

He had a short stint with French club Rennes in 2013.
