“It’s very cold, but I’ll get used to it quickly. There are very good coaches here, and both the coaches and the players have welcomed me very well.”
Support From Brann
Brann’s sporting director, Per-Ove Ludvigsen hopes Ononogbo will make a big impact at the club.
” In recent years, we have worked to expand the area from which we recruit new players,”said
Ludvigsen.
” We now have a better system for recruiting players from other continents and cultures, because it is important that the players also find their place outside the football field. It will be exciting to see Chinedu’s development in the years to come.”
