The forward had joined the Saints in February 2025 from Royal Antwerp, initially featuring for the development squad, but the pathway to regular action proved difficult.

Udoh first moved to Europe in March 2023 with Belgian giants Royal Antwerp, making 24 appearances across two seasons.

His time in Belgium and England has shaped him into a versatile left-footed winger and striker, now determined to grow in a league where he will see more minutes.

He has signed with Dynamo České Budějovice until 2028, giving both club and player time to build a long-term project.

Sporting director Michaël Michée praised the signing, describing Udoh as “a young attacker with valuable experience from Belgium and England who will strengthen our frontline.”

Victor Udoh also expressed excitement at the move, saying he is eager to embrace the challenge and make an impact for the club’s supporters in České Budějovice.

I’m very happy to be here. I’m looking forward to the new challenge, I’m looking forward to the Dynamo fans. I’ve only heard good things about them, I believe we will make them happy,” Victor Udoh told the club media.
