Echeta Ugonna Deputy leaves Zakho SC to become a free agent

Nigerian winger Echeta Ugonna Deputy has joined the ranks of unattached players after leaving Iraq Stars League club Zakho SC.

The 25-year-old’s change of status was recorded on 18 August 2026, bringing his time with the Iraqi side to an end. Deputy is listed as a left winger and has been without a club since the move away from Zakho.

Deputy was born in Onicha and stands 1.82m tall. A right-footed attacker, he has operated primarily from the left side, where his profile has been built around playing in a wide forward position.

His most recent club was Zakho, who compete in the Iraq Stars League. The move ends his recorded association with the club and leaves Deputy available to continue his career elsewhere.

Deputy’s current market value is listed at €350,000. He had reached the same figure as his highest recorded market value, providing an indication of his standing while he remains unattached.

The player’s status offers a clear change from his previous position in club football. Rather than moving to another side, Deputy has left Zakho and is now registered without a club, with the switch formally dated 18 August 2026.

Deputy’s recorded club profile remains centred on his role as a left winger, with Nigeria listed as his nationality. His date of birth is 23 December 2000, meaning he is 25.

The move from Zakho SC to an unattached status was completed on 18 August 2026.
