Igho Ogbu, a former Flying Eagles defender, has joined Slavia Prague, the reigning Czech Republic champions.

From the Norwegian club Lillestrom, Ogbu relocated to Eden Park.

A four-year contract was signed by the 23-year-old.

In 2020, the center-back relocated to Europe from Gombe United of the Nigeria Professional Football League.

After stints with Rosenborg, Levanger, and Sogndal, Ogbu has spent his entire professional career in Norway.

“I feel amazing; I’m happy with the way the club welcomed me and that I could sign here." Every player’s dream is to win trophies, to leave behind a legacy in the team you are transferring to, “he told the club’s official website.

“I really hope that I will succeed in Slavia." "I'm looking forward to meeting the fans and my new teammates.”

Ogbu is now the third Nigerian at Slavia Prague, with Peter Olayinka and Moses Usor already key members of the squad.
