Valentine Ozornwafor has completed his transfer to Sochaux from Sporting Charleroi of Belgium.
The defender signed a loan deal with an option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.
Ozornwafor becomes the latest Nigerian international to sign for FC Sochaux-Montbéliard, after Wilson Oruma, Brown Ideye and Rabiu Afolabi.
He started his European career with Galatasaray SK and was with him for four seasons, but was on loan for most of his time at the Club.
Ozornwafor was first loaned to Spain at UD AlmerÃa. The move didn’t go according to plan as he only played two games for the Rojiblancos.
However he enjoyed a breakthrough campaign with Charleroi last season, playing 17 games (including 16 as a starter) in the Belgian top flight.
The 23-year-old left-handed central defender is expected to help Sochaux gain promotion to the Ligue one next season.
