Former Nigeria U23 invitee Promise David scored the only goal that handed his team Union Saint-Gilloise a 1-0 win over Oud-Heverlee Leuven in the Belgium top division, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Signed in the summer from from Estonian side Kalju FC , the forward who was a part of the Nigeria U23 team that failed to make it to the last AFCON, and subsequently missed out on the Olympic has settled down to life quite brilliantly in his new surroundings.
The 23 year old struck from the spot in the 15th minute for sixth league goal of the season from 17 games and tenth overall in all competitions with his other four goals coming in the Croky Cup.
Born in Canada to parents of Nigerian descent, he is eligible for both nations at senior level, and after the disappointment of not getting a breakthrough with the Nigeria U23 he made it clear that he is open to representing either nations at senior level.
No doubt his recent run of form in front of goal would get to the new coach of the Super Eagles Eric Chelle, who has already received briefing from Austine Eguavoen the technical director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on the forward.
