The goalkeeper has now linked up with Omonia Nicosia, where he played on loan between 2019 and 2020, making five appearances.
“Omonia Nicosia has signed Francis Ozoho, who played for APOEL last season,” reads a statement on the club’s website.

“The cooperation contract is for a period of three years.
“The footballer wore the jersey with the clover on his chest and the 2019-20 season, while he also played for Anorthosis and Deportivo La Coruna. He is international with the national team of his homeland.
“We welcome Francis to the OMONIA family and wish him every success.”
Uzoho is likely to be in action for the Super Eagles when they file out to face Liberia in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.
