English Championship club Stoke City has included Nigerian midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo in their squad for the 2019/20 football season.
Etebo linked up with the Stoke City from Portuguese outfit CD Feirense and scored two goals in 34 league appearances.
The 23-year-old also scooped the club’s player of the season award following his impressive performance for Nathan Jones’ men.
Fear of a possible Etebo departure heightened especially among Stoke City’s supporters as the midfielder acquitted himself well with a consistent superlative performances.
Now it looks like the club can afford to hold prospective buyers at bay and have the enterprising Nigerian for another season.
First-team players, Charlie Adam, Darren Fletcher and Jakob Haugaard head the list of summer departures after the club confirmed the list of players retained following the conclusion of the 2018/19 campaign.
Etebo is one of the 25 players listed in Nigeria’s provisional squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations by head coach, Gernot Rohr, and will now fight to merit a spot in the final 23-man squad for the tournament in Egypt.
