The Nigerian striker, also known as Godwin Chika, brings valuable experience having played for several clubs across Africa and the Middle East. His previous stints include Algeria’s ES Sétif, Al-Taawoun of Libya, Iraqi side Al-Shorta, and Nigerian powerhouse Rivers United.

He played 23 games last season for Tala’ea El-Gaish last season, scoring 8 goals and assisting once. Okwara becomes Modern Sport’s seventh signing in the current summer transfer window.

He joins a list of new arrivals that includes international goalkeeper Mohamed Abo Gabal, Rashad El-Metwally and Kamel El-Sayed, Emad Hamdy and Ahmed El-Mazhoud, as well as Mahmoud Mamdouh.

The club is aiming to bounce back from a difficult 2024/25 season, during which they battled against relegation in the Egyptian Premier League.

The recent signings reflect the ambition of the management to ensure an improved campaign in 2025/26.
