Official : SonderjyskE And Super Eagles Midfielder Go Their Separate Ways

Through their official website, Danish Superliga side SønderjyskE have announced that they have ended their association with Nigeria international Eddy Onazi via mutual consent.

The original agreement between SønderjyskE and player would have seen the holding midfielder remain at the club until at least the end of the 2020-2021 season.

Onazi departs SønderjyskE with only three appearances for the club, two of them as a substitute in the Superliga.

Speaking on the departure of the 2018 World Cup star, sports director Hans Jørgen Haysen told the club's official website : "There is not a finger to put on Onazi's efforts in SønderjyskE. He has been a professional to the tips of his toes and he has fitted in well with the group with his dedication and he has also scooped out his experience to the young players on the team.

"He came with a backlog from an injury, but he has been in almost all training sessions with us, and it also became a starting place in the Sydbank Cup and a few innings in the 3F Super League.

"However, it did not turn out quite as he and we had hoped, and he himself has expressed that he might fit better into another league than the 3F Superliga, and he now has the opportunity to try it out.

"We thank him for his efforts in the light blue jersey and wish him all the best for the future".

On his curriculum vitae, Onazi lists Lazio, Trabzonspor and Denizlispor among his previous clubs.
