By Rabark Bakare

Enterprising Nigerian striker, Meshack Ubochioma has been announced as the new player for Scottish Premier League, SPL side, Dundee United from Hungarian club side, Zalaegerszegi TE. 

The 22 year old Ubochioma has signed a two year deal with the Tangerines subject to international and Scottish FA clearances. 

The former PSG youth team player joined Zalaegerszegi TE after leaving PSG and went on loan at Slovenian side NK Nafta.

Ubochioma took the division by storm, scoring no fewer than 12 goals in just 17 appearances as his temporary employers finished just one point off the promotion play-offs having lost just four games throughout the term. 

His stint at the Lendava Sports Park also brought a first hat-trick, rippling the net three times in a comfortable victory over Beltinci.

Ubochioma would soon returned to his parent club in Hungary and became the poster boy for the next two seasons. 

He featured in all games except three in the course of two seasons scoring eight goals and provided four assists which helped Zalaegerszegi TE winning the their first Magyar Kupa of the club's 104-year history thereby earning them a space in the UEFA Europa Conference League for the first time in over a decade as a result. 

The young attacker expressed his delight to have completed the move as he's looking forward to developing his football career as well as helping the club to achieve glories. 

I'm so excited, it's great to finally be here, I've always wanted to make the next step in my career and as soon as I got the call from Dundee United I knew this was my chance.

"Scoring and assisting as many as possible are my targets for the season ahead on a personal level, and as a collective we have goals to work towards which will need everyone on the team to contribute," Ubochioma told club official website upon his arrival. 

He has become the club's 10th new signing of the season following the acquisition of other top talents including Vicko Sevelj, Kristijan Trapanovski and David Babunski.
