UZOENYI WINS ORANGE PLAYER OF THE COMPETITION AT CHAN

Super Eagles of Nigeria attacking winger, Ejike Uzoenyi was named the Most Valuable Players of the 2014 African Nations Championship (CHAN).
The Super Eagles of Nigeria finished the championship in third place but Uzoenyi put up a standout performance which saw him chalk up three man-of-the-match awards.
The Enugu Rangers man, who had his career on the ropes in recent months, has credited his performance at the Chan to his belief in God, his family, teammates and coaches."I'm very, very grateful to the Almighty God for this opportunity to be named the best player of a major competition like the Chan. I want to also extend my appreciation to my teammates and coaches who always ensured we did well and believed in my abilities when the chips were down and also my family for their prayers.
"For me, this is an opportunity to further build on my career and do well in future for the national team. I want to continue to work hard and I'm hoping that I'll be considered for the FIFA World Cup and I hope the coaches will give us the players (from the Chan team) the chance," he said to supersport.com.
Uzoenyi scored two goals against South Africa and one against Morocco to take his total to three goals at the Chan.
