He established himself as the club’s first choice striker in the under-18s squad with a series of stunning displays with the first team during which his speed, direct running and aggression are notable, especially in someone so young that have proved himself to be a skilful, flexible and effective striker.

According to many fans, Bright is mobile, strong, competitive and with a nose for being in the right place at the right time.

In a recent interview with Sunday Mail in the United Kingdom, he revealed how his trainings with the senior teams has impacted his performances.

He said: “There’s a real gulf between the youth team and the senior team. Everything in these games are faster, you have to think more quickly, read the game in advance.

“And you must always run like the wind if you are to be in top form as a striker.

“On joining the Super Eagles if invited? I will humbly accept to represent Nigeria and make my parents’ desire actualised.”
