Oduenyi delighted with promotion in Austria

Nigeria-born striker Ugochukwu Oduenyi has vowed to keep challenging his potential for bigger chances after his club Ried SV got automatic promotion from Austria Liga 2 on Friday.

The lanky striker is delighted to be part of the historic team that lifted Reid back to Austria Bundesliga and will be hoping for a greater challenge next season.

The 24-year-old has been getting attention from major clubs having played a limited number of games in the concluded season through injury.

Oduenyi’s speed and drive has become a huge advantage and one of the reasons scouts are waiting to declare interest in a perfect move for the Nigerian-Festac based player.

“I feel great and excited to be part of the history even though injury denied me some chances but I am glad to be in the team,” said the ecstatic Oduenyi.

The Reid striker reflected on the team success following the last day demolishing of their opponents 9-0 to crown as champions of the Austria Liga 2.

“We have a good team and we focused only on getting the ticket, that is to be in the Bundesliga and every player was committed to achieving that goal. This is a club with “good history”.
