Striker Raphael Success officially joins Song Lam Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - Striker Raphael Success has officially joined Song Lam Nghe An from Hanoi Police Club on a 1-year loan. At the Nghe An team, this striker will wear the number 70 shirt.
The deal to exchange Ho Van Cuong for a foreign player from the Hanoi Police Club has consumed a lot of ink in the media. Initially, the Nghe An Club hoped to have the service of Jhon Cley. However, because Song Lam Nghe An could not meet the bonus requirements, this striker decided to choose Hoang Anh Gia Lai as the new destination in his career.
Unable to get the nod from Jhon Cley, the Nghe An team turned to striker Raphael Success. After negotiations between three parties including Song Lam Nghe An, Hanoi Police Club and Raphael Success, on November 2, the Nigerian striker officially arrived at Song Lam Nghe An on a 1-year loan. Joining Song Lam Nghe An, Success will wear the number 70 shirt and play as a striker.
On the afternoon of November 2, Success will be present at the headquarters of the Nghe An Club, then he and the entire Song Lam Nghe An team will move to Thanh Hoa Stadium on November 3 to practice, preparing for the match with the host Dong A Thanh Hoa in round 3 of V.League 2023/24. It is likely that this new player will be put on the field by coach Phan Nhu Thuat from the start. Because currently, the Vinh Stadium team only has 2 foreign players including center back Mario and striker Olaha. Therefore, if Success is available, Song Lam Nghe An will have more options to penetrate the opponent's defense.
Raphael Success is primarily a winger, but can also be pushed forward when needed. Success, born in 1998, is a Nigerian who plays on the left wing and is highly regarded for his speed and individual technique. He began his career playing for his hometown club NAF Rockets FC.
Notably, Raphael Success was the top scorer in the Myanmar national championship while playing for Ayeyawady United with 16 goals in the 2020 season. He then moved to top Myanmar team Shan United before being brought in by Police Tero in June 2021.
Despite high expectations, Raphael Success did not play very successfully in Thailand. Failing in the Police Tero shirt, the Nigerian striker was sent to Kasetsart FC on loan but did not leave much of an impression. After 2 years in Thailand, Raphael Success became a free agent and then joined the Hanoi Police Club./.
