At 18 years old, the Kogi – born defender, begins his journey playing in Spain after signing a three – year contract with Malaga and it is hoped that he will flourish in Europe.

He will trade tackles in the Spanish Segunda with a former teammate, Elisha Ephraim, who signed for CD Castellon last week.
