Gerrald, who will join Nigeria’s U20 national team, is a forward with running power.

18-year-old attacking player Etu Francis Gerrald and HJK have signed a three-year contract. Gerrald basically plays for HJK Klubi 04.

Last spring, HJK visited Nigeria for a scouting tournament, in which Aseami Football Academy, the club represented by Gerrald, participated. Gerrald caught the attention of Hans Lahti, who represented HJK in the tournament, and the powerful runner’s visit during the test period at the end of the summer in Helsinki also convinced HJK Klubi 04 coaches.

Early January hopefully Gerrald willl join the Nigerian U20 national team, which is preparing for the African Youth Championship to be played in February-March.

– It feels great and exciting! This is like a dream come true, Gerrald feels.

Welcome to Helsinki, Etu Francis!
