Enugu Rangers forward Chikeluba Ofoedu on Wednesday signed a short term contract (with option for a further two years on expiration) with Turkish club 1461 Trabzon, a source close to the player has told allnigeriasoccer.com.

Dubbed the 'New Obafemi Martins' , Ofoedu bagged 12 goals for Enugu Rangers in the 2012 season.
