Official : Otelul Galati Shred Contract With Benjamin Onwuachi

Romanian side Otelul Galati are experiencing dwindling margins, and have decided it was best to weed out unproductive staff on their payroll in order to remain a going concern.

The official website of the 2011 Liga 1 champions has reported that the contract of Nigerian striker Benjamin Onwuachi has been terminated.

The 30 - year - old joined the Steelworkers as a free agent late July, penning a two - year deal that would have kept him at the eastern Romanian outfit until the summer of 2016.

A product of Ify Babes FC at Coker-Orile, Benjamin Onwuachi began his career in Italy with Reggiana in 2003 before a celebrated move to Juventus the following season.

But due to the established internationals in the Juventus squad - Ibrahimovic, Trezeguet, Del Piero and Zalayeta - he failed to break into the first team and had to be loaned to Salernitana.

On his curriculum vitae, he has represented clubs in Belgium, Cyprus and Greece in the past.
