Hearts defender Isaac Baadu joins Nigerian side Ifeanyi Ubah

Nigerian Professional Football League side Ifeanyi Ubah have signed Hearts of Oak defender Isaac Baadu.

The centre back has signed a two-year contract and re-united with former coach Yaw Preko who is now in-charge of the club.

"This is a big opportunity for me and I hope to build on that to achieve success," Baidoo told Goal.

"I want to be a superstar and that needs commitment so I will do my best here to get playing time. There are a lot of Ghanaians in the Nigerian league so I don't think I'm going to miss home frequently.

"I've heard a lot about the club and the expectations of the supporters but I'm ready for the challenge. My performance here, whether good or bad will have a bearing on transfers in the future so I don't have to be a bad example."
