Russian first division club FC SKA-Energiya have signed Nigerian forward Isah Eliakwu on undisclosed terms, the general director of the Khabarovsk club Sergei Feldman has announced, writes championat.com.

Eliakwu spent last season at FC Anzhi Makhachkala, making only three appearances for Coach Guus Hiddink's side.

The former Inter Milan youth - teamer was far behind in the pecking order of forwards, especially with the arrival of Cameroon super-star Samuel Eto'o.

Eliakwu, who showed so much promise in his teen years, trialed with newly promoted Russian Premier League side FC Mordovia Saransk this summer, but nothing came out of the tests.

FC SKA-Energiya are second on the log in Russia's National League with 21 points from 10 matches.
