Second division Belgium side Lommel SK pulled a massive transfer coup with the signing of one cap Nigeria international defender Dominion Ohaka, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
The 18-year-old joined the club on loan from Nigeria based side Water FC for a period of 12 months, with an option of signing him permanently also included in the terms of the deal.
Capped by the senior national team of Nigeria in 2022, he played the entire duration of the 0-2 friendly loss against Costa Rica, which was the first game under the then coach of the Nigerian team Jose Peseiro.
Sporting director James McCarron gave his opinion about his signing to the club’s website. “Dominion is known in his own country as a great talent. Making your debut for your national team at such a young age is something that is not possible for many players. Unfortunately, Dominion still has to recover from an injury he sustained earlier. He will therefore not be able to play for the time being. We will do everything we can to get him fit as soon as possible.”
Ohaka himself is also happy that he will be able to play in Europe: “Playing in Europe has always been a big dream. This dream is now coming true. I am very grateful to Lommel SK for the opportunity and I am really looking forward to playing in the Soeverein Stadium for the first time! Unfortunately, my debut will have to wait a while, but I will do everything I can to recover as soon as possible!”
