Michael Olaha agrees to extend contract with Song Lam Nghe An
After Song Lam Nghe An successfully stayed in the league in the 2023/2024 season, striker Michael Olaha agreed to extend his contract with the Nghe An team.
Defeating Viettel The Cong Club with a score of 2-0 in the final round of the season, Song Lam Nghe An surpassed Hong Linh Ha Tinh on the rankings to officially stay with V-League 2024/2025.
Achieving that achievement was greatly contributed by Nigerian striker Michael Olaha. He is considered the soul of the Nghe An team's attack. Almost every attack of Song Lam Nghe An bears the mark of the foreign player born in 1996.
In particular, in the match against The Cong Viettel - an important match that decided the possibility of Song Lam Nghe An staying in the league, Michael Olaha played explosively and scored a double to help the home team win 2-0. Also in the 2023/2024 season, Olaha is the player who scored the most goals for the Vinh team with 13 goals.
However, after the V-League 2023/2024 ends, Olaha's contract with Song Lam Nghe An will officially expire.
Realizing Olaha's importance to the team, in preparation for the new season, the leadership of Song Lam Nghe An club decided to continue to extend the contract with this striker. After briefly studying the terms of the contract, Olaha initially agreed to the offer from the Nghe club. Thus, it is likely that the striker born in 1996 will continue to be associated with Song Lam Nghe An in the 2024/2025 season.
In January 2017, Michael Olaha first came to Vietnam to play for Song Lam Nghe An.
Olaha has made many important contributions to the Nghe An team. In particular, the Nigerian striker helped Song Lam Nghe An win the 2017 National Cup. At the end of the 2019 season, Olaha decided to leave the Nghe An team to join Hapoel Tel-Aviv Club.
After 3 unsuccessful years playing in Israel, Michael Olaha reunited with Song Lam Nghe An in V-League 2022.
Since then, Olaha has always been the main striker, indispensable for Song Lam Nghe An. In V-League 2022, Olaha scored 3 goals with 22 appearances, 2023 was 5 goals with 18 appearances and 2023/2024 was 13 goals with 26 appearances.
