Published: August 05, 2014
Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that Norwegian Tippeligaen campaigners Lillestrom have secured the services of former Golden Eaglets invitee Innocent Bonke.
While this information is not yet official, sources close to the player and his management team have told allnigeriasoccer.com that he penned a 41- month contract tying him to the Canaries until December 31, 2017.
Innocent Bonke, a defensive midfielder, impressed the leadership of Lillestrom while undergoing trials in March.
And if not for the problems that would have been encountered in obtaining a work permit, the Aråsen Stadion outfit would have completed his signing before the Norwegian transfer window closed for business on March 31.
Top Nigerian scout Udia Attai, better known as Atta Aneke’s right hand man in Nigeria, discovered Innocent Bonke during a tournament held in Kaduna in January before recommending that he should be tested at LSK.
For the remainder of this season, the highly rated starlet will wear the number 18 shirt.
