Nigerian midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi has returned to Turkey after ending his contract with Lithuanian league side, FK Zalgiris.

Onazi joined FK Zalgaris from Sonderjyske in 2021 and was quite impressive for the side as he scored 2 goals in 19 appearances. Onazi scored in the 1-2 victory over Linfield in their Champions League qualification round.

However, the Lithuanian aide crashed out after losing 5-1 on aggregate to Hungarian side, Ferencvaros.

Onazi joins Denislizspor on a one-year deal with an option to extend for a further year.

The club announced his arrival via their Twitter page.
