After a frustrating season spell on the sidelines, the midfielder has dusted himself off and is ready to reignite his career in the land of the crescent moon, Footballrover reports.

The former Warri Wolves player has signed a permanent deal with the Ankara-based club, ending months of speculation about his next destination.

Genclerbirligi confirmed the deal on their social media, proudly announcing the arrival of the Nigerian international.

The journey has been far from smooth for the Nigerian midfielder, who endured a challenging 2023/24 season without a club.

But as they say, every cloud has a silver lining, and it seems Etebo’s luck has finally turned around.

This marks the Super Eagles star’s second stint in Turkish football.

He previously enjoyed a loan spell at Galatasaray during the 2020-21 season, where he made a huge impact, helping the club secure a second-place finish.28-year-old Super Eagles Star Finds New Home, Set to Resurrect Career in Turkish Club Genclerbirligi
