Work Permit Delays Debut Of Shanghai Shenhua Loanee Brian Fok

Hong Kong Under 23 international Brian Fok  has explained why he is yet to make his debut for Romanian Liga II club ACS Berceni.

The Shanghai Greenland Shenhua defender was farmed out on a year-long loan just before the close of the Romanian transfer window due to his lack of first team opportunities at the Chinese Super League club.

“I’m in London waiting for my work permit application, it should be out in the next two weeks. By the time the permit comes out I’ll be play in the league until December, ”said Brian Fok to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“.I want to work my way up. When my loan ends I can simply return to Shanghai and join up for pre-season training in January, that is if I don’t get sold.”

Brian Fok renewed his vows with Shanghai Greenland Shenhua in January by appending his signature to a deal that keeps him at the club until the end of the 2018 season.

Born in Kaduna, the 22-year-old has committed his international future to Nigeria even though he has caps for the youth teams of Hong Kong.
