Nwubani Signs with Bundesliga Team, VfL Bochum

In a move that has excited soccer fans in both Nigeria and Ireland, former Flying Eagles center-back Osinachi Keleb Nwubani has signed a two-year contract with a one-year option to extend. Born in Ireland to Nigerian parents, Nwubani is considered one of the best young prospects in African football. After making an impression with the Flying Eagles, Nigeria’s U-20 national team, Nwubani has now earned the chance to showcase his skills on the grand stage of the Bundesliga.

In his first interview after joining Bochum, Nwubani expressed his excitement at joining a storied team like VfL Bochum. “This is a fantastic opportunity for me, and I can’t wait to give it everything I have to help the team succeed.”

The adaptable defender, who can play full-back or in the center of defense, will now get the opportunity to play senior international football for either Nigeria or the Republic of Ireland. Both national teams have been keeping a careful eye on his progress, and it will be exciting to see which country he chooses to swear allegiance to.
