The FC Hearts of Abuja player featured just once for the Golden Eaglets in Brazil, in a match against Hungary.

Jochen Sauer, Head of FC Bayern Campus said;

“Daniel played to the fore during his time in the FC Bayern World Squad and acted very conspicuously in the test games. He's attracted the interest of a number of clubs, so we're delighted he's signed and that he can now gain match practice at Austria Klagenfurt.”

The midfielder was chosen as captain from a team of 24 players who underwent training under Klaus Augenthaler and Ze Roberto in Rio De Janeiro and Munich.
