SC East Bengal sign promising Nigerian forward Bright Enobakhare

Panaji, Jan 1 (UNI) SC East Bengal on Friday announced the signing of promising
young Nigerian forward Bright Enobakhare for the 2020-21 Hero Indian Super League
season, which is underway here.
Rising star Enobakhare, only 22, is set to bolster SC East Bengal's striking options
as he joins forces with head coach and Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler.
“I am absolutely delighted with the signing of Bright. I have had a good few chats
with him, given him our vision and our beliefs…what we want to achieve here. He has
accepted them with an open mind,” Fowler said.
“The signing of a young, talented and very good player adds to our squad. I will
stress how young and talented he is. If you look at the foreign players who have
come in, the likes of Matti Steinmann are fairly young for foreign players in this
league,” Fowler added.
"I am happy to be part of SC East Bengal. It is the biggest club in India and offers
me a fresh challenge. The Indian Super League is growing at a rapid pace and
I believe I can fulfill my potential there," Enobakhare said.
"I know the league is already underway and I have to quickly get along with the
squad and I am ready for that. I am really looking forward to the challenge ahead,"
he added.
Enobakhare came through English Premier League side Wolves' academy and
went on to become a member of the Championship title-winning squad which
gained promotion to the Premier League in 2017/18.
He made 49 appearances for the club, netting three goals, twice in the League
Cup and once against Barnsley in the Championship in September 2017.
Enobakhare also joined Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock on a six-month loan
deal and then spent the remaining part of the season with League One side Coventry
City, where he grabbed eyeballs, winning the club’s young player award. He found the
back of the net six times in 18 appearances for Coventry City.
Enobakhare last turned out for Greek side AEK Athens.
