The 24-year-old play maker signed for a Southern Thailand
team Ranong FF popularly known as the Andaman Shark but had a little season due
to ankle injury before he finally joined the samba of Southern Thailand, Nara
United in the second leg of the league where he’s currently flying the Nigeria
flag on high note with seven goals in eight matches.
“It is a normal feeling when you strike for success, I
really feel excited for claiming the league title and I will be happy to
continue doing well in the team when we get to the Champions League,” said
Francis.
“For now, I can’t really say much about my future because
there are lots of clubs showing interests which I will not like to disclose
their names until I decide my future. But above every other thing, I want to
keep the winning spirit and champion’s mentality.”
Francis is regarded as one of the most influential player
in the Thailand league and was seen by most of his admirers in the country as
Nigeria’s new Jay Jay Okocha with his stylish display on the pitch.
“I must give thanks to God for helping me to this level
of the game especially in a country like this, the fans are too much, they keep
showing me lots of love every time and I think that is part of my secret for
scoring goals.”
“On my way to the club, I dreamt so many things and I am
happy for realising it and my best is yet to be seen. I wish to keep giving my
best at all time for the club and myself.
“Everything didn’t work well between me and Ranong FC and
I have to leave with the interest of the samba of Southern Thailand Nara United
and I have come to spur the team to more success.”
Francis is undisputed goal king in the league after he
scored four sensational goal against Narkonsi heritage to seal the championship
position of Nara united after which the trophy of the Championship was presented
to Nara United FC by Thailand football federation as the champion of Southern Thailand
and propelling him to the highest goal scorer in the Southern Thailand.
