The face of the planet called football has changed significantly in recent years, and in fact, we witness transfers daily that would have been simply unimaginable a decade ago. In a rather interesting, albeit unexpected move, the Slovenian third-division club from Brežice has signed a former youth international from Nigeria. In the 3. SNL, Nelson Orji, a 22-year-old defender, will be playing, who has an intriguing club career behind him.
The African left his home club Superstar FA in 2020 and moved to Portugal, where he joined the youth setup of the great Porto. He stayed with the former European champion for a year, was loaned to Hungary at ZTE, and then two years ago flew to the other side of the world, specifically to the United States of America.
In the USA, Nelson Orji signed with Atlanta United, a club that can boast of winning the MLS league in 2018, and that was only in its second season in the competition. Although Nelson Orji never played in the MLS, he recorded 36 matches and 3 goals for the club’s reserve team, which plays at the stunning Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Atlanta United 2 competes in the MLS Next Pro league, which is the third strongest in North America in terms of quality.
Atlanta is now a thing of the past for the Nigerian, and the new reality is Brežice. It is probably not insignificant that Nelson Orji is a client of the Vita Football Group, which also includes Barnabas Tanyi. The latter also recently swapped the USA for Brežice, where he scored goals like clockwork and moved to Aluminij after just six months.
