The 25-year-old goalkeeper started his career with FC Heartland in the 2020/2021 season before moving to Jigawa United the following year.
A year later, he joined Rivers United and has plied his trade with the Port-Harcourt-based club for the past two years. He became a free agent at the end of last season and will not take part in the Finidi George era at the club.
As per NPFL Tori, Sochima will join Tabora United after completing his medical check earlier today, penning a one-year deal with the option to extend for another year.
Sochima was named in the Super Eagles squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-legged tie against Guinea-Bissau during Jose Peseiro’s tenure in charge of the Nigerian football team.
He joins the growing number of Nigerian players in the Tanzanian Premier League. Benjamin Tanimu, John Noble, and Augustine Okejepha are other NPFL products that have joined the East African train. Tabora United ended last season in 14th place on the league table and will be able to move further up the table with their recruitments this summer.
