Joseph Akpala set For Second Spell At Karabukspor

The higher ups at Werder Bremen have told Joseph Akpala that he has no future at the club, despite still under contract for the next two seasons.

The Nigeria international arrived the Bundesliga side in the summer of 2012 from Club Brugge, but failed to replicate his performance in the Jupiler League during his debut season.

Growing impatient, the leadership of the Green - Whites farmed him out on loan to Karabukspor just before the close of the Turkish transfer window last summer.

However, the Europa League campaigners parted company with the ex Bendel Insurance ace less than five months into his season - long loan deal after he suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon against Sivasspor late December.

To cut a long story short, according to matching press reports in Turkey and Germany, Joseph Akpala will be announced as a player of Karabükspor in the next few days.

Before injury ruled him out for the rest of the season, the Nigerian impressed the coaching staff of Karabukspor, scoring 4 goals in 11 matches.
