After a lengthy administrative marathon spanning Ukraine and Nigeria, Francis Momoh can finally don the FC Winterthur jersey in Switzerland.

The 24-year-old Nigerian striker joined the club on September 8, but various formalities had kept him off the pitch. Now, he is officially available and ready to strengthen the Swiss club’s attack.
