The left winger scored 14 goals for the Pride of Rivers, and only Chijioke Akuneto scored more for the Club.

His impressive performance earned him a call up to the Super Eagles squad for the friendlies against Mexico and Ecuador and would eventually make his debut against the former.

Meanwhile the 21-year-old is expected to travel in few days time to join the first team.
