Done Deal: Former Flying Eagles Dazzler Olaitan Joins Georgian Champions
Published: August 23, 2017
Georgian champions FC Samtredia have completed the signing of former Nigeria U20 international Michael Olaitan.
The attacking midfielder and striker had been on the lookout for a new employer following his release by Greek club Panionios in February 2017.
FC Samtredia represented Georgia in the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League by virtue of winning the Erovnuli Liga in 2016, but they were knocked out of the competition by Qarabağ in the second qualifying round.
Olaitan, 24, lists Veria, Olympiacos, Ergotelis, Twente and Kortrijk among his former clubs.
