Nigerian forward, Victor Obinna Nsofor, has joined South African side, Cape Town City FC.
Nsofor, 30, is aiming to resurrect his ailing career after a futile year at German side, Darmstadt, where he featured just twice.
The pacy marksman moves to the Premier Soccer League (PSL) on a free transfer.

“It’s a pleasure for me, a privilege for me to join this great family,” Nsofor told the club’s website.
“I saw a club that has lots of ambition, an ambition to succeed.
“Am here to contribute to the success of this team.”
He comes in as a direct replacement for Lebogang Manyama, who joined Turkish side Konyaspor last week.
The Nigerian’s decision to move to the Rainbow Nation may not be unconnected to his former teammate, Benni McCarthy, who has a new role as coach.
Both played together at Premier League side, West Ham.
Nsofor has had somewhat a nomadic career – starting off at Chievo and Inter Milan, both in Italy.
He had loan spells at Malaga and West Ham, followed by permanent stints with Lokomotiv Moscow and MSV Duisburg.
On the international scene, Nsofor has been capped 48 times by Nigeria with 12 goals.
