In the past Austria wasn’t known as a home for upcoming Nigerian players to build their careers before making the step up to other top leagues in Europe. However that has changed a bit lately.
An addition has been to the Nigerian players in the country following the transfer of Zion Daniel who was a part of the Nigeria U17 team two year ago but didn’t make the final list of players.
The Benin brought up forward is aiming to use third division side Tsv MacDonald’s St Johann as a spring board to take his career to the next level starting from this season which will be his first at the club.
An excited Daniel said his aim is to get the goals that will propel the team to the next level and also his career, which he believes is on the right track with his move to Austria owing to how clubs from top European leagues scout players from the country.
“It’s a huge step up for me considering the reputation of the country in terms of how players have moved to top leagues from Austria. I know my ability and it’s all about goals. I hope and pray my goals will help the team and also myself as well to get to the next level starting from this season”, he told OwngoalNigeria.com.
