Super Eagles defender, William Troost-Ekong, has joined the Italian revolution after announcing his move to Udinese.
The 24-year-old spent just one year at Bursaspor in Turkey, featuring 32 times with two goals.
Troost-Ekong took to social media on Wednesday to thank the club, teammates and fans for the memories.
However, the defender said it was time to take the next step in his career.
“I want to say a big thank you to everyone in Bursa and Bursaspor especially my teammates and staff for everything. I will always have great memories of my time in Turkey as a player but also as a man. However, the time has come for a new step in my career,” he wrote on Twitter.
“I want to wish Bursaspor a great season and I will now follow the team as a fan. So of course lastly I want to say a special thank you to Texas and all the fans who supported me and the team. I will remain one of you now. Texasli Ekong.”
