Richmond Chukwuemeka joins FC Trostyanets as Nigerian winger moves within Ukraine

Richmond Chukwuemeka, the 24-year-old Nigerian left winger, has joined FC Trostyanets from fellow Ukrainian club Girnyk-Sport on a free transfer.

Chukwuemeka’s move takes him to a side competing in Ukraine’s Druga Liga, marking a change of club while keeping him in the country’s football system. He arrives at FC Trostyanets after leaving Girnyk-Sport, where he was registered as a left-sided attacking player.

The Nigerian’s position gives a clear indication of the role he can fulfil for his new club, with Chukwuemeka primarily operating on the left wing. At 24, he joins FC Trostyanets at an age that places him among the established players in the squad, rather than as a youth signing.

The transfer also represents a direct move between Ukrainian clubs. Chukwuemeka started the switch at Girnyk-Sport and has now made FC Trostyanets his next destination, with the deal completed without a transfer fee.

FC Trostyanets compete in the Druga Liga, while Girnyk-Sport’s league listing is not specified. The move therefore places Chukwuemeka in a new club environment within Ukrainian football, while retaining the same national setting in which he played previously.

His nationality adds an international dimension to the transfer, but the available details do not include a senior international record or previous clubs beyond Girnyk-Sport. The central facts of the deal are his age, position and move from one Ukrainian club to another.

Chukwuemeka completed his free transfer from Girnyk-Sport to FC Trostyanets on 5 August 2026.
