Akwa United coach John Obuh has hailed the bright start recorded by his top striker Mfon Udoh in the opening day of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
Udoh scored 10 goals during last season's abridged league and he has started on a bright note; rescuing a point for the Promise Keepers in last Sunday’s away tie against newly-promoted Warri Wolves which ended in a 1-1 stalemate.
Obuh told Goal he was happy Udoh clicked fast unlike his other players returning to the club from previous engagements with the national team.

“Playing for the national team and a club side are not really the same, although he was the only one out of the three of them that was with the national team the last time that clicked in the game, the other two failed to give us the expected performance,” Obuh told Goal in an exclusive interview.
