📢| ZADOK YOHANNA JOINS BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION:
🗣Zadok Yohanna
“I’m incredibly happy and grateful to officially become part of the Brighton family. From the streets of Kaduna, Nigeria, to the Premier League in England-it’s been God all the way. Every step, every trial, every breakthrough has been by His grace, and I stand here today as living proof that dreams backed by hard work can take you anywhere.
I’m ready to showcase to the world what I’m capable of doing. I’ve worked extremely hard to reach this level, and I will never take this opportunity for granted. From the first training session to matchday, I’m coming to give the fans everything I have-right there on the pitch. Blood, sweat, heart, and soul. You will see me fight for every ball, run for every cause, and celebrate every goal like it’s my last.
Yes, there were other interests and scans from bigger clubs like Chelsea along the way, but as a kid growing up with big dreams, I believe Brighton is the perfect place for me to start this Premier League journey. This club believes in young talent, gives opportunities, and builds players into stars. I’m here to repay that faith with performances.
To the Brighton fans: I can’t wait to wear the shirt and make you proud. Let’s write history together.”
