MFM FC striker, Stephen Odey, has apologized to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) club, over his failed move to Danish club, FC Midtjylland.

The league’s leading scorer returned to the country last weekend, after a controversial trip to Europe.

MFM management had declared the 19-year-old Absent Without Leave (AWOL), after he went missing in the team’s camp.

Odey later claimed he was tricked to Denmark, adding that he was only invited for a facility tour with FC Midtjylland, until another move was introduced to him.

“I am sorry for the botched move, and I have tendered an apology to the management for the repulsive action. What is left for me is to justify the confidence reposed on me.

“Right now, I need to remain focused because many things have happened in the past.

“I want to plead and apologise for everything that has happened as I’m now looking forward to the Super Eagles assignment.

“For me to claim a permanent shirt in the team, well I think I need to do more of what I normally do before on the field of play and outside the field of play,” he said.

Odey also vowed to work with the technical crew and be committed to the team.

“I need to play to the coaches’ instructions and by so doing; I believe I will be a regular in the team.

“I’m very happy with the national team call up, it’s a dream come true and I want to thank the coaching crew of our team led by Fidelis Ilechukwu and the entire team.

“I also want to thank the management as well and our Father in the Lord Dr Daniel Olukoya, who has really tried a lot for me personally with prayers and everything.

“I’m very excited with the national team invitation. It’s every player’s dream to play for the Super Eagles and to represent his country; and for me, this is a dream come true,” he said.
