The Jos-born footballer signed a four-year contract with Werder Bremen from Belgium side Club Brugge in August 2012, but made just 21 appearances- mostly as substitute- in his only Bundesliga campaign.

Akpala’s first Nigeria cap came in September 2008 and was part of the country’s squad at last year’s Confederations Cup.

Karabukspor had one-time featured another Nigerian Emmanuel Emenike (2009-2011).
