Jamshedpur FC: All you need to know about Nigerian international Stephen Eze

In a bid to strengthen their backline after talismanic defender Jose Espinosa's (Tiri) departure this season, Jamshedpur FC have signed two solid centre backs in Englishman Peter Hartley and Nigerian defender Stephen Eze.

Eze comes to India after playing at the top level of Bulgarian football for three years and looks to be a great inclusion in Owen Coyle's side this season.

Other than Bulgaria, he has also played for Nigerian giants Kano Pillars FC and has represented the national team in two editions of the African Cup of Nations.
