Onazi takes playing career to Bahrain

Super Eagles Midfielder Ogenyi Onazi has continued in attempts to revive his football career by signing for another football club in the Middle East.

The defensive midfielder on Tuesday completed a move to Bahrain Premier League club, East Riffa, his second team in six months.

Onazi last played for the Italian Serie D club, Casertana FC, a club he joined in August 2022 but lasted only three months.

He later returned home to train with NPFL outfit, Remo Stars, before jetting out to sign his latest deal.

The combative midfielder has seen his career plagued by injuries in recent years, forcing him to move from one team another.

He has since played for Trabzonspor, Denizlispor in Turkey, and Danish Superliga team SønderjyskE, and Lithuanian side Žalgiris.

He joined Al-Adalah on 19 January 2022, but made no appearance for the club, before he was released.
