Richmond Chukwuemeka: Nigerian winger joins FC Trostyanets on free transfer

Nigeria left winger Richmond Chukwuemeka has joined Ukrainian club FC Trostyanets from Girnyk-Sport on a free transfer.

The move was completed on 5 August 2026, bringing the 24-year-old to a club competing in Ukraine’s Druga Liga. Chukwuemeka’s arrival represents a change of club within the Ukrainian game, with the winger moving directly from Girnyk-Sport to Trostyanets.

Chukwuemeka is listed as a left winger, a role that places him among the attacking players in Trostyanets’ squad. His nationality and position distinguish the new signing as a Nigeria international-level player in terms of eligibility, although no international appearances or call-ups are attached to the transfer details.

The transfer also gives a clear account of Chukwuemeka’s immediate career path: he leaves Girnyk-Sport and begins the next stage of his career at FC Trostyanets without a transfer fee being paid. Both clubs are based in Ukraine, meaning the move does not involve a change of country for the player.

For Girnyk-Sport, the deal ends Chukwuemeka’s time with the club, while Trostyanets becomes the latest side to have him registered. The winger’s listed age of 24 places him beyond the early stage of his senior career as he takes up his new position in the Druga Liga.

There are no contract-length details attached to the move, and the completed transfer does not include a reported fee. The central facts of the deal are confirmed: Chukwuemeka has left Girnyk-Sport, joined FC Trostyanets, and completed the switch as a free transfer.

The Nigerian attacker is now a FC Trostyanets player.
