Official : Ex-Bayern Munich Left Back Okoroji Joins SSV Jahn Regensburg
Published: June 13, 2019German 2 Bundesliga side SSV Jahn Regensburg announced on Thursday morning that they have completed a loan deal for one-time Nigerian Federation target Chima Okoroji.
Okoroji started his career at TSV Grünwald before joining the youth team of Bayern Munich where he spent a decade.
The left back has been playing for SC Freiburg since 2017 but has found game time hard to come by, with only two appearances for the first team last season.
''I would like to gather as much match practice as possible at SSV Jahn, expand my strengths and work on my weaknesses. My goal is to play a successful season with the Jahnelf and achieve the set goals,'' said Okoroji to SSV Jahn Regensburg's official website.
"I'm really looking forward to the start. Now I want to do my best to help the team with my qualities.''
Okoroji, who is eligible to represent the national teams of Germany, Nigeria and England, was called up to a Nigeria U23 camp in December 2014 but did not attend the get-together in Abuja.
