“For me, I was at the stage where I preferred playing even if it was for one of the smallest teams. That is what the agents that were involved told me.

Vincent Enyeama also partook in trials with Bolton Wanderers but wasn't signed by the former premier league side.

“I am still wondering why I didn’t sign. It was a trial that went so well. They even told me I was going to get jersey number 35. All that was left was just to do the medicals,” he said.




“I was supposed to be number three, because Bolton had two goalkeepers already, with Jussi Jaaskelainen as number one.


“But I don’t regret it because it gave me the opportunity to go to Israel. I am so happy that I went to Israel because it opened doors for me.”




Enyeama has since been without a club ever since parting ways with Lille. The shot stopper Was close to signing for Dijon Last season but unfortunately, the Deal didn't go through.
