Promising Nigerian forward Frank Okenwa has officially extended his stay at Portuguese club Grupo Desportivo Resende, penning a new season-long contract extension ahead of the 2025/2026 campaign.

 

The contract renewal was confirmed by club officials on Friday, marking a vote of confidence in the 22-year-old attacker’s talent and potential.

 

Okenwa, who joined GD Resende last season, impressed with his pace, technical ability, and eye for goal — characteristics that quickly earned him a place in the club’s attacking setup. His extension reflects Resende’s plans to solidify their squad as they prepare for a competitive season in the Portuguese football league system.

 

Speaking after the announcement, Okenwa expressed gratitude to the club management and fans for their belief in his abilities.

 

“I’m grateful to Resende for this opportunity to continue growing with the team. I’ve felt at home here, and I’m excited about what we can achieve together next season,” Okenwa said.

 

Club officials described Okenwa as “a player with great work ethic and immense potential,” and hinted that he would be central to their offensive plans going forward.

 

As the new season draws near, all eyes will be on the Nigerian forward to see how he continues to develop and possibly attract attention from higher-tier clubs in Portugal and beyond.
