Former MFM FC and FC Zurich Striker Stephen Odey has revealed his frustration not to win the top scorer award of the Nigeria professional football league before he sojourned abroad.

The skilful forward was on top of the top scorer award before he secured a move to Switzerland to join FC Zurich, BSN Reports.

Lobi Stars attacker Anthony Okpotu clinched the award after he scored a goal better than Odey.

Odey explained how bad he felt during Instagram chat but believed that he never regret moving to Europe.

'I felt bad not winning the Nigeria Premier League top scorers award as I had to move be to Europe.

However I have moved on with life as my transfer to FC Zurich of Switzerland and now Genk have really paid off as it has made me a better player," he said.

Steven Odey holds a record of being the first Olukoya Boy to score an NPFL hat-trick and the club's all-time top scorer with 23 goals in 42 matches.
