Ireland attacker Chiedozie Ogbene agrees terms with Premier League outfit

Republic of Ireland star Chiedozie Ogbene will be a Premier League player from July 1 after securing a move away from Championship side Rotherham United.

The 26-year-old, who scored eight goals for the Millers in the league last season, joins recently promoted Luton Town in the English top flight.

Ogbene told Luton's club website: "I’m delighted to be here as a Premier League player, because of my journey and where I’ve been in the last five-and-a-half years, from Limerick FC and the League of Ireland to Luton Town FC in the Premier League. My former coach said it would be one in 200,000 – I guess I’m that one! 

"My journey is special to me. I come from Rotherham United, who I spent four seasons with and where I achieved some great things with some great people. But to be considered to be a Luton Town player with an opportunity to feature in the Premier League was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.”

He added: "I’m just excited to be here. To feature in the Premier League is everyone’s dream and I’m really happy for the opportunity."
