Official: Solomon Okoronkwo Back To Germany, Pens Two - Year Deal With Erzgebirge Aue

After impressing manager Falko Götz during two weeks of trials, Nigeria international Solomon Okoronkwo has been rewarded with a two - year contract by German club FC Erzgebirge Aue, who play in the 2 Bundesliga.

"He impressed during his tryouts and played in all test matches. He is certainly an asset for our attack and a real gain,'' coach Falko Gotz said.

This is Solomon Okoronkwo's second spell in Germany, having represented Hertha BSC for three years, between 2005- 2008.

At around the same time, Falko Götz managed the Beijing Olympics silver medalist, so it's a reunion of sorts for master and pupil.

The much - traveled Okoronkwo previously played for teams in Germany(Rot-Weiss Essen, Hertha Berlin), Norway(Aalesund), Russia(Saturn Moscow Oblast) and Hungary(Pécsi MFC).
