Nigerian forward Arinzechukwu “Clinton” Udeh has joined Brazilian side Brusque Futebol Clube on loan ahead of the 2025 season. The 23 year old born 15 January 2002 in Orlu has been officially registered by Brusque following a move from Cianorte. Udeh, a forward capable of playing on either wing, spent the 2024 season with Cianorte after departing Portugal’s Vitória SC in 2023. During that spell, he attracted attention with strong performances in the Paranaense Championship.
Before his time in Brazil and Portugal, Udeh featured for Vitória SC and CD Tondela, gaining valuable European experience. At Brusque, he will compete in Brazil’s Série D and the state-level Paranaense league. So far this season, he has made 18 appearances across competitions, scoring once and registering two assists an encouraging start in his new environment.
Editorial
We see Udeh’s move to Brusque as a promising step for both player and club. Venturing into Brazilian football offers him exposure to a passionate and technically demanding environment. For Brusque, acquiring a forward with European experience underscores their ambition to excel in Série D and state competitions.
We appreciate that his loan deal provides Udeh with much-needed regular playing time a crucial factor as he approaches his mid-20s and aims to establish himself as a prolific scorer. It also offers Nigerian football a glimpse into how its emerging talents adapt internationally, reflecting well on our youth development strategies.
We note that this journey from Vitória SC and Tondela to Cianorte and now Brusque demonstrates the value of varied football education. It builds resilience and versatility. We would encourage Nigerian academies and the NFF to track such overseas experiences closely, offering support where they can.
