Confirmed: Former AC Milan Nigerian striker joins Cypriot champions

The Nigerian striker spent the last six months in Saudi Arabia, but he has sealed a return to Europe

Nigerian striker Ezekiel Henty has completed a loan transfer from Slovakian side Slovan Bratislava to Cypriot champions Apollon Limassol.

Henty began his career at AC Milan. But after three years at the club, and four loan stints away, the hitman left the Milan giants for NK Olimpija.

In fact, the 29-year-old’s career has been characterized by constant loan moves at different clubs. Henty has played in twelve different clubs in the last ten years.

Henry’s last move was a six-month loan move from Slovan Bratislava to Saudi Arabia side Al Hazem in January.

The Milan academy product returned from his loan stint in July, but he is on the move again. 2021/22 Cypriot league champions Apollon Limassol have confirmed that they have secured Henty’s services till the end of the season.

Despite his nomadic career, Henty has shown that he could be a big threat in attack. The Nigerian striker has 81 goals and 28 assists in 268 career appearances.
