The 24-year-old Nigeria international, who was named 2014 CHAN most valuable player has expressed his delight after completing a move to the Brazilians
New Mamelodi Sundowns signee Ejike Uzoenyi has expressed excitement at joining up with the South African Premier League outfit on a four-year contract.
The Nigeria international had earlier rejected a move to team up with Romanian club FC Vaslui that offered him a deal worth €600,000.
Speaking about the deal, Uzoenyi said he was delighted to have joined the South African outfit describing the Brazilians as the “great deal for me”.
“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,” he told the club’s official 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,” he concluded.
Ejike Uzoenyi is expected to join his new teammates in June 2014.
