Nigerian centre forward Edward Edegbai Unuigbeje has completed a move to Albanian side KF Lushnja from Latvian club Ogre United, marking a bold new step in the 20-year-old striker’s promising career.
Born and raised in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Unuigbeje has built a reputation for his physical dominance, goal-scoring instincts, and attacking flair. Standing at 1.97 meters, he first made his mark in Latvia’s 1. Liga with Skanste during the 2023/24 season, scoring 13 goals in 25 appearances. He later joined Ogre United in early 2025, continuing to grow his game with around 7 appearances and 1 goal.

His transfer to KF Lushnja, a club competing in Albania’s Kategoria e Parë (Second Division), is seen as both a strategic career move and a significant boost for the Yellow-Greens, who are aiming for promotion. The club will be hoping Unuigbeje’s presence up front can add firepower to their attack ahead of the new season.
Unuigbeje is expected to bring aerial strength, sharp positioning, and a relentless work ethic to Lushnja’s frontline. With youth on his side and a track record of productivity, the Nigerian striker is eager to embrace the challenge of Albanian football and make an immediate impact.
