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.
