Orlando Pirates defender, Olisa Ndah says his debut appearance for the Super Eagles at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations is ‘a big boost to his career’.
The 24-year-old finally made his debut for Nigeria as he came on in the second half of their final Group D fixture against Guinea-Bissau which they won 2-0.
“It’s a big boost to my career. This is my first time in the Super Eagles, my first Africa Cup of Nations, and my first game so it’s a big boost and I pray it keeps coming,” the former Akwa United star told reporters as quoted by allnigeriasoccer.
He continued: “Hopefully, I keep doing my best and I hope that everything works out well.”
Ndah who enjoyed a strong debut display after he was introduced in the 76th minute for Tyronne Ebuehi, showered praises on teammate Kenneth Omeruo, claiming the defender has helped his confidence in the team.
He revealed that he is benefiting from some words of wisdom from the 28-year-old UD Leganes defender.
“I’ve learned a lot. They have been so supportive especially Kenneth Omeruo,” Ndah told reporters as quoted by allnigeriasoccer when asked if he was learning from his senior colleagues.
“He’s given me a lot of talks and confidence. He’s a good man and I’m happy to be here.”
Ndah joined Pirates on August 26, 2021, after winning the Nigerian Professional Football league title with Akwa United and has since managed 13 appearances for the PSL giants.
Nigeria will come up against Tunisia at Roumde Adjia Stadium on Sunday.
