CHAN’s Revelation Ejike Uzoenyi, Joins Mamelodi Sundowns
Nigeria’s Ejike Uzoenyi has joined South African Premier League club, Mamelodi Sundowns on a four-year contract and will start playing for the club in June, the official website of Sundowns confirms.
Uzoenyi who was the Most Valuable Player at the recently concluded African Nations Championship, CHAN 2014, in South Africa, said he is excited to have concluded the deal.
“Joining a club like Sundowns is a great deal for me because their ambitions to conquer Africa are in line with my career objectives as a player,” Ejike told 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 also had a brief stint with French club Rennes last year.
