Nigeria international midfielder Uche Agbo<\/a> will spend the remainder of the season with Portuguese top-flight side sporting Braga after being snapped up on loan from Belgian outfit Standard Liege.<\/p>\n

It is the second successive season in which the 23-year-old has been sent on loan after he made six appearances for Spanish LaLiga<\/a> side Rayo Vallecano in the second half of the campaign as they were relegated.<\/p>\n

He has also previously had two loan spells with Spanish side Grenada in a career that has yet to take off as he might have hoped.<\/p>\n

Aside from Standard, Agbo has also been on the books of Italian club Udinese and English Premier League Watford, but without playing a single game for them.<\/p>\n

He will hope his season in Portugal allows him to secure a regular place in the side and showcase his qualities on a big Europe stage.<\/p>\n

He did feature for Standard in 57 matches in all competitions in his 18 months at Standard, including in the UEFA Champions League and Europa League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
