Career

Starting his career in Enugu Rangers and made the senior team in the 2008-2009 season, in 2009 before the start of Allsvenskan he was bought by BK Häcken. Mainly being used as a defender by Rangers, after he arrived in Häcken he has been used more as a midfielder.

John Chibuike had a quite soft start in BK Häcken, but soon spectators around the venues saw that he had something extra. During his first season – 2010 he played as a midfielder and showed both good defensive and offensive skills, especially good vision and technique. He made 27 out of 30 games during the season scoring 3 goals and making three assists.

At the start of the Allsvenskan, season 2011 it became apparent that Chibuike had improved even more. Allsvenskan topscorer – and club fellow Mathias Ranégie said he was the team’s most import important player and that he very soon could see Chibuike playing on a European top-level. [1]

On 29 August 2011, Chibuike signed a four-year contract with Norwegian side Rosenborg where he played behind a main striker.

In the summer of 2014, Chibuike moved from Rosenborg to the Turkish side Gaziantepspor, signing a four-year contract.

In August 2016, Chibuike signed for AIK. [2]

AIK suffered from a season of turmoil, starting with high-profile loan signing Sebastián Eguren being a flop, continuing with the resignation of 2009 double-winning coach Mikael Stahre and the reigning champions getting involved in a relegation scrap. A disappointing display in Europe, getting knocked out of both the Champions League and the Europa League early was followed by a decent autumn, which at least saved the contract, much thanks to IFK Värnamo recruit Mohamed Bangura proving to be a success.
