Official: Left-Back Eligible To Represent Nigeria & Italy Pens New Deal With Yeovil Town

Promising left back Daniel Ojo, 17, has been rewarded with a new deal by EFL League Two club Yeovil Town.

Yeovil Town have reported on their official website that Ojo has signed his first professional contract which will keep him at the Glovers until at least June 30, 2021.

The highly-rated defender made his first team debut against West Ham U21s in an EFL Trophy clash a month ago, and featured in behind closed doors friendlies against Bristol City and Aston Villa.

Speaking on the new deal, Ojo said : ''It's an honour for me to sign a professional contract and I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue improving.

"I've loved my time so far at Yeovil and this is the next step in the journey for me. The gaffer has been great with me and it's time now to repay the faith.

"I've got to keep working hard every day and hopefully, get as much game time as possible."

Daniel Ojo, who is eligible to represent the national teams of Nigeria and Italy, joined Yeovil Town from Charlton Athletic in the summer of 2017.
