Club career

Oshadogan was born in 1976 in Genoa to a Nigerian father and an Italian mother. He grew up in Pisa, where he spent some time as part of the local team's youth system. [2] [3]

In 1994, he moved to Foggia, where he made his professional debut in the Serie B on 26 August 1995. He played at the club for four seasons, his longest stint at one club in his career. [4]

In 1999, he signed for AS Roma, but left the Giallorossi soon later to join Reggina, where he spent two seasons. [4]

After a two-year spell at Cosenza, [4] in 2003 he joined French side AS Monaco, where he played only four domestic league matches in two seasons. [5]

He then returned to Italy, joining Ternana, which he left following disagreements with the club management. [6]

In May 2007 he joined Widzew Łódź, becoming the team captain, [7] but left the club early in 2008, refusing to return to Poland after having been fined by club management.

Oshadogan ended his career back in Italy at Virtus Lanciano [7] where he stayed for two seasons, from 2008 to 2010. [4]

International career

Oshadogan was also capped three times for the Italian under-21 national team, making him the first coloured player to represent Italy, making his debut for the Azzurrini on 3 October 1996, a 3–0 away win to Moldova. [2] [3]
