Super Eagles star joins Sochaux

Super Eagles defender Valentine Ozornwafor has completed a year-long loan move from Royal Sporting Charleroi to French club FC Sochaux-Montbéliard after passing a medical.

Announcing the capture of the Nigerian international with a statement on their official website, Sochaux confirmed that they retain the option to buy Ozornwafor after his temporary spell.

With the move, the former Enyimba centre-back becomes the fourth Nigerian international to sign for the Yellow and Blues. Ozornwafor follows in the footsteps of compatriots Wilson Oruma, Brown Ideye, and 2007 Coupe de France winner Rabiu Afolabi.
