Nigeria U23 invitee leaves Celtic for Amiens

Posted : 26 July 2023
Amiens SC, a French Ligue 2 club, recently made an official announcement through their website about the exciting acquisition of Osaze Urhoghide. 

The 23-year-old talented player was previously invited to join Nigeria's U23 team in 2019. He now joins Amiens SC from Glasgow Celtic, the Scottish Premiership champions, in a permanent deal.

Urhoghide has committed to a three-year contract that binds him to Amiens until June 30, 2026. 

While he had a stint with Celtic, he unfortunately didn't get the opportunity to make his debut in the Premiership, League Cup, or Scottish Cup.

During his time at Celtic, Urhoghide received eighteen call-ups to the first team for various games, but his only chance to play came in a Europa League match against Real Betis in December 2021, which was a non-crucial fixture.

Before joining Celtic in July 2021, the central defender began his professional journey with AFC Wimbledon. He later moved to Sheffield Wednesday before finally landing at Celtic. 

Although he faced difficulties breaking into Celtic's first team, he made the most of the situation with back-to-back loan spells at KV Oostende. During his time there, Urhoghide enjoyed regular playing time and managed to make 36 appearances over one and a half seasons.

It's interesting to note that Urhoghide has diverse international eligibility. Born in the Netherlands, he also qualifies to represent England, where he has lived since the age of five, in addition to the Nigerian national team through his parents.

His association with Nigeria's Olympic national team is noteworthy as well. Urhoghide had the opportunity to train with them before a 2019 U23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Libya.

With this move to Amiens SC, Urhoghide looks forward to a fresh start and the chance to showcase his talents on the pitch in the Hauts-de-France region. The club and fans are excited to see how he will contribute to their future successes.
