Super Eagles midfielder John Ogu will leave his Israeli side, Hapoel Beer Sheva after a trophy-laden five-year spell with the club.


The Nigerian midfielder rejected Hapoel Beer Sheva’s new offer in search of a fresh challenge elsewhere.

Ogu joined Beer Sheva in September 2014 and has won six titles -three successive league titles as well as lifting the Israeli Cup twice and the Toto Cup in Israel.

The 30-year-old announced Tuesday morning that he will be leaving at the end of the season.

“After five years here in Hapoel Beer Sheva, I have decided I won’t be continuing my career here,” Ogu wrote on his official Twitter handle.

“All I just want to say is, thank you to everyone that made it possible for me to be here. Thank you for the memories and support. And to the fans, I specially say a Big Thank you.”
