seasons, with an option for another two years,” the club announced on its
website on Monday.
Sparta Rotterdam Technical Director, Henk van Stee says
the Nigerian goalkeeper is a great talent with lots of potential.
'With Maduka we bring in a great talent,' says Henk van
Stee, 'who has a lot of potential. He was in the interest of several clubs from
different countries, but he believes he can take the next step at Sparta. We
