Onazi hungry for football in Denmark after injury nightmare

Nigeria midfielder Ogenyi Onazi wants to revive his career in the Danish Superliga with SønderjyskE after injury struggles in Turkey.

The Super Eagles star's injury nightmare started with a ruptured Achilles tendon back in December 2018 which ruled him out of action for almost a year.

He found it difficult to break into Trabzonspor first-team after the injury, and he left the Turkish Super Lig club to join their rivals Denizlispor on a short-term contract in January.

Onazi's hopes of securing regular playing time with the Roosters were dashed when he suffered a groin strain and hamstring injury which limited him to nine league matches last season.
