The 2002-born Sotona has joined OGC Nice after turning down a professional contract at Premier League side Manchester United.

Born in Waterford, Sotona has played non-binding games for Republic of Ireland's U15 and U16 national teams.
In his final season at United, he scored five goals and provided two assists in 20 appearances combined in the U18 Premier League, FA Youth Cup and EFL Trophy.
Super Eagles scout Victor Agali and retired Nigeria national teamer Onyekachi Apam previously played for OGC Nice.
