Exeter City beat Norwich to sign versatile midfielder of Nigerian descent on scholarship deal

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that EFL League One club Exeter City have won the race for the services of promising player of Nigerian descent Santino Ohanaka. 

Following a successful trial, Ohanaka has signed a scholarship deal with Grecians, which will be activated in July 2023.

The talented teenager trialed at a number of clubs in England before deciding to pick Exeter City over his other suitors. 

Championship club Norwich City offered Ohanaka a schoolboy contract but he rejected it in favor of continuing his career at Exeter City, who offered him a scholarship. 

The Anglo-Nigerian youngster has been training with Exeter City youth teams since January 2023, and has played a couple of matches for their U18 side.

He was on target as Exeter City defeated Bristol Rovers U18s in a Merit League Two fixture in March. 

Ohanaka is a versatile player who is comfortable being deployed as a winger and midfielder. 

He has represented Tottenham Hotspur youth team in the past.
