Bulgarian club Lokomotiv Plovdiv have officially confirmed the transfer of Nigeria international Stephen Eze from Kano Pillars.

The 23-year-old's switch to the First Professional Football League outfit will become completed at the end of the 2018 African Nations Championship.

Venko Rahtaliev, an executive director at Lokomotiv Plovdiv, traveled to Morocco to finalize the transfer of Eze, who is with the national team in the North African country.

The 1.99m tall center back has represented Lobi Stars, Sunshine Stars and FC Ifeanyi Ubah in the Nigerian Professional Football League.

Eze started Nigeria's goalless draw against Rwanda at the ongoing African Nations Championship and was unfortunate not to score, with his header hitting the woodwork.

He penned a two-year contract with Lokomotiv Plovdiv.
