Finnish club FC Ilves have captured the signature of Nigerian winger Mbachu Uchenna Emenike after impressing the coach during trials in the month of February and March.

The 25 - year - old started four games in the League Cup, and was on target in the 1 - 1 draw with Inter Turku on March 9.

A product of FC Goal, Lagos, Emenike is not a stranger to the Veikkausliiga, having previously worn the jerseys of PS Kemi and RoPS.

In July 2014, he departed Finland for a brief spell in Malta, starring for Naxxar Lions before crossing over to Mosta.

He joins fellow Nigerian offensive player Emmanuel Ihionu Bright at Tammela Stadion, Tampere for the time being.
