Trabzonspor terminate Onazi’s contract


By Akeem Lawal
NIGERIA international, Ogenyi Onazi has been forced to seek for a new club after his contract with Trabzonspor was terminated by the Turkish side, Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com understands.


According to reports in Turkish media, the Super Eagles midfielder has not been able to reclaim a starting shirt in the side despite recovering from the latest injury setback, prompting the Trabzonspor management’s decision to terminate his contract.

The 2013 AFCON winning star recently made his first competitive appearance in over a year after featuring in Trabzonspor’s Europa League loss against Swiss club, FC Basel in December 2019.

The former Lazio midfielder sustained an Achilles tendon injury while in action against Caykur Rizespor in a Turkish Super Lig game back in December 2018 and has since been out of action.

The injury setback saw the 26-year-old miss out of the bronze-winning Super Eagles squad at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Onazi joined Trabzonspor in 2016 after spending five years with Lazio, who he joined from Nigerian club, My People.
