Bafana Brace Changes Nwofor

He had a solitary cap at senior level to his name before August 14, 2013 but SC Heerenveen attacker, Uche Nwofor may soon be a name on the lips of Nigerians for a long time to come.

A rip-roaring display against South Africa's Bafana Bafana in the Nelson Mandela Challenge at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban where he scored both goals in Nigeria's 2-0 success having come on as a substitute at the break, earned him a call-up for Saturday's 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifier against Malawi.
.
Nwofor knows it is a huge opportunity to stamp his authority on the big stage and is looking to grab his chance on Saturday against the plucky Flames.
.
"Will I start the game on Saturday? Everything depends on the members of the backroom staff but I am ready to do my job when I am called upon. It doesn't matter whether I start or I'm drafted in as a substitute, I just want to help my country win," Nwofor exclusively told supersport.com.

Nwofor played very well in that game but I still feel he has lots of training to do to become a better player. He still has a long way to go!
