A New Adventure Beckons as Wolverton FC Woo Jay Jay Okocha

 

Super Eagles legend, Austin Jay-Jay Okocha could be on the verge of a shocking move to an English football team, Wolverton Football Club, representing the town of Wolverton in UK, after playing for their reserve side last week, the club confirmed.

The 41-year old playmaker played 45 minutes for Wolverton’s reserves against Arlesey Town reserves last week, but has not yet decided on whether to make a permanent move to the Milton Keynes club.

The club who currently ply their trade in the Spartan South Midlands League, were tight-lipped about Okocha’s long-term future. Amanda Keech, chairperson of Wolverton Town, said: “He did play 45 minutes last week for us but we can’t say either way whether he will sign yet. He is friends with somebody who coaches at the club and could be helping out with pre-season training with the players. We will be able to say more once he has decided.”

Okocha started his professional career with Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt before spells at European giants Fenerbahçe and Paris St-Germain. Premier League fans will also remember him from his time at Bolton Wanderers, during which he made more than 100 Premier League appearances. He also helped Hull City win promotion from the Championship in 2008, after playing 18 times for the Yorkshire side.
