Before joining Brusque, Udeh played 18 matches across Brazilian competitions, registering a goal and two assists. His ability to operate both as a winger and a central forward made him a standout option for Brusque’s technical team, which has been looking to add speed and creativity to its attacking unit.
Brusque officials have praised the Nigerian’s versatility and intensity, noting that his prior experience in Brazil gives him a unique advantage in adapting to the demands of the league. He is expected to play a key role as the club pushes for promotion and a stronger finish in upcoming competitions.
Speaking after the signing, Udeh said he is “honoured to return to Brazilian football” and is ready to “fight for the badge” as Brusque prepares for a demanding campaign in the Campeonato Catarinense and Série C fixtures.
Udeh will begin preseason training immediately and is expected to be part of the squad for the opening match of the new phase. His arrival underscores Brusque’s ongoing efforts to reinforce the team with young, international talent.
