Belgian side KVC Westerlo have announced the signing of talented Nigerian midfielder Ogonna Hyacinth from Dino Sporting Club, Afrosport reports.
The 19-year-old has signed a three-year-deal with an option for an extension, and will commence his career with the club’s Under-23 team.
Hyacinth joined Dino Sporting Club as a kid, and was instrumental when they beat Beyond Limits Football Academy to lift the Creative Championship Cup (TCC) in 2022.
He also played a huge role as Dino SC reached the quarter-finals of the 2023 Viareggio Cup in Italy last year.
The versatile left-footed player was also immense in the establishment of the club as a formidable force in the Nigeria Nationwide League (NLO).
