Kelechi Nwakali has penned an emotional farewell message to SD Huesca fans teammates and staff, reports Completesports.com.

Nwakali left Huesca in acrimonious circumstances after returning late from the Africa Cup of Nations in February.

The midfielder was initially suspended by the club, but was sacked early in April few months to the end of his contract

“Sociedad Deportiva Huesca have terminated the contractual relationship maintained by the first team player Kelechi Nwakali with the Barca entity,” the club wrote in a statement last month.

“The club has informed the player of the decision to terminate the contract that united both in the current campaign but expired in June 2022.

“SD Huesca wishes Nwakali the best in his professional future.”

Despite the frosty relationship between him and the club, Nwakali took to the social media to thank his former teammates, staff and fans for their support.

“I never really got the chance to say goodbye so to the fans that supported me during my time at Huesca, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart,” the former player tweeted.

To the staff & teammates who I shared some special memories with, I also want to thank you & wish you all the best.

Nwakali was named the FIFA U-17 World Cup player of the tournament in Chile in 2015 after a resounding performance with Nigeria and had caught the attention of Arsenal.

Following his inability to break into Arsenal’s first team, the Gunners sent the Nigerian to Dutch second division side MVV Maastricht.

Nwakali enjoyed further spells at VVV-Venlo and FC Porto B before he was shipped out of the Emirates Stadium for a move to Huesca.

In his maiden season at the Estadio El Alcoraz, he featured in just five games as the Spaniards got promoted to the Spanish elite division.

Huesca’s demotion to the second-tier saw him sent to Alcorcon for the remainder of the 2020-21 campaign.
