Biography
Born in Nigeria, he moved to Italy with his father when he was one month old. He lived in Rome, and then Turin, later becoming an Italian citizen.[1] He started his professional career with Serie C2 side Casale, 60 km from Turin. He also played for Torino Berretti[2] and Primavera Team,[3] before being released in June 2005 after the old Torino went bankrupt. After the relegation of Casale, he joined Serie C2 side Portogruaro Summaga[1] but soon returned to Casale in Serie D. In the 2007–08 season, he left for another Piedmont club, Novara, but failed to play regularly in Serie C1. In January 2008, he left for a short spell with Serie C1 club Pescara. In July 2008, he joined Canavese.[4] He scored 11 goals for Canavese in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.
In July 2009, he was signed by Varese along with fellow countrymen Wilfred Osuji and Kingsley Umunegbu. With his goals, he contributed to the return of Varese to the Serie B league after 25 years.[5]
