Marijampolė's "Sūduva" has signed another contract with a player remaining in the team. The player is right-back Henry Uzochukwu, with whom a 2-year contract has been established.

Last season, the 27-year-old Nigerian scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists in 30 matches in the Lithuanian Championship. Additionally, the defender played 3 matches in the cup tournament.

H. Uzochukwu arrived at "Sūduva" at the beginning of April 2024.
