Through a statement on their official website, Spanish Segunda División side Deportivo de La Coruña have announced the signing of Nigeria international Uche Agbo.

The central midfielder cut short his loan spell with Sporting Braga in Portugal which was due to expire at the end of the 2019-2020 season before joining Deportivo de La Coruña on loan for the remainder of the campaign.

Uche passed a medical at the HM Modelo Hospital last week and has visited the facilities of the Sports City of Abegondo and the ABANCA-RIAZOR Stadium to watch his new teammates in action.

The 24-year-old wore the colours of Taraba, JUTH and Enyimba in his homeland before transferring to Udinese in 2013 following a successful trial and his other clubs in Europe include Granada, Watford and Rayo Vallecano.

He was a member of the Nigeria squad to the 2013 FIFA U20 World Cup and was named to the country's provisional roster for the senior World Cup five years later.

An option to extend his contract has been inserted into the deal taking him to Deportivo de La Coruña.

Deportivo de La Coruña, who sit 20th in the table with 24 points from 24 matches, are guests to Albacete in their next league game on Sunday, January 26.
