According to the club’s media, Ugwuoke rejoined his teammates in training when they returned from Kaduna where they claimed all three points with a 2-0 defeat of hosts, Niger Tornadoes.

“He was full of life at Tuesday’s training session monitored by Coach Fidelis Ilechukwu,” the club said in a release.

Ugwuoke also spoke after the evening session to express relief and delight at his return and promised to challenge for a place in the squad. He also thanked the club for seeing to his treatment and recovery, vowing to return the favour with utmost performance in matches when fielded.

“It is indeed a delightful moment for me to rejoin my teammates in training to challenge for a place in matches to defend the badge of the club.

“I give God all the glory just as I salute the management of Rangers under Barrister Amobi Ezeaku for standing behind me all through the trying moments of my career,” Ugwuoke said.
