Jeffery Imoh has left Taranto and become a free agent after his contract with the Italian club came to an end, with the move registered on 02 December 2025 and his deal now officially running until 02 December 2025.
The Nigeria-born centre-forward, 25, is now listed as “Without Club” following his departure from Taranto SS, confirming his exit from the side he joined earlier in the 2025-26 campaign. The transfer was completed without a fee, with no transfer sum recorded for the move.
Imoh had only arrived at Taranto from Nuova Igea Virtus at the start of the same season, his transfer having been confirmed on 25 August 2025. That switch also involved no fee and came after a spell of steady movement through Italy’s lower tiers, where he has spent the entirety of his senior career to date.
The right-footed striker has built his career exclusively in Italy, turning out for a succession of Serie D and regional sides including Olympia Agnonese, USD Lavello, Real Tolve, Alicese Canavese Orizzonti, USD Città di Cossato, Dufour Varallo, CS Bosa, Sassari Latte Dolce, Calcio Budoni, Sammaurese Calcio and Nuova Igea Virtus. He first became unattached in 2020 after leaving USD Lavello, before signing again for Olympia Agnonese and then embarking on a series of short-term stays across the country.
During that period his market value fluctuated modestly. While at Calcio Budoni it was assessed at €10,000 in February 2024, before rising to €50,000 by June of the same year. A subsequent spell with Nuova Igea Virtus saw that figure adjusted down to €25,000 in early 2025. By the time he joined Taranto in August 2025, his valuation on record had fallen to zero, reflecting both the free nature of the move and the uncertainty surrounding his long-term role at the club.
Imoh’s profile remains that of a classic central striker: 1.87m tall, operating through the middle of the attack and listed primarily as an attacking player in the centre-forward role. Despite his consistent presence in Italian football, there are no senior international caps recorded for Nigeria, and he has not been tied to any other national federation.
The latest move again places him outside the structure of club football and potentially open to offers from abroad as well as within Italy. With his status now officially noted as Without Club, Imoh is free to negotiate with interested sides in any competition or country once registration windows allow.
For a player who has built a career on short contracts and frequent moves, this latest break from Taranto underlines the precarious nature of life in the lower divisions. At 25, however, Imoh is entering what are typically considered prime years for a centre-forward, and his next decision is likely to be pivotal in determining whether he can secure greater stability or remain on the carousel of brief stints and free transfers.
