One-time record goal scorer in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), Jude Aneke has joined Akwa United ahead of the 2015/16 season.
Head coach of Akwa United, Maurice Cooreman said paper work for the forward will be completed before the end of the week.
He also revealed that the 25-year-old attacker will commence training with the rest of the squad on Thursday evening.
“Aneke is with us and hopefully, before the end of this week, we would have completed everything necessary for him to play for us,” Cooreman said
The striker teamed up with Kaduna United during the 2009-10 season from lower division side Anambra United and scored 13 goals in all competitions, including 10 in the league.
He wrote his name in Nigerian football folklore in November 2011, when he broke the one-year old record of current Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa by scoring 20 goals in a league season.
The forward then moved to Egypt where he joined Port Said-based outfit, Al-Masry, from Warri Wolves in 2012.
On July 18, 2014, Aneke signed for Kazakhstan Premier League side FC Spartak Semey.
Cooreman says the track record of the striker convinced him to bring him on board at the Promise Keepers.
“I know him (Aneke) very well. I worked with him at Kaduna United and also at Warri Wolves.
“When you have an opportunity to sign a player who has scored 20 goals in a single season in the Nigerian league you sign him.
“He has played in Europe too so he is a very good striker,” the Belgian trainer said.
