SK Sturm Graz signs Kelechi Nnamdi from First Vienna FC.

The 20-year-old right-back joins the second team of the "Blackies"; the Graz club did not disclose details about the contract duration.

"Kelechi is a young, exciting player who, despite his age, has already gained experience in the 2. Liga. He brings pace, dynamism, and a good education, making him a great fit for our profile," says Sporting Director Michael Parensen.

Nnamdi started his career in the youth ranks of SK Rapid; at the age of 13, the 1.77-meter tall right-footed player moved to the Red Bull Academy in Salzburg.

Since 2023, the Austrian has played for Vienna and has been a permanent member of the professional squad since 2024. Nnamdi appeared in 45 ADMIRAL 2. Liga matches for the Döbling-based club, recording five assists. His contract was valid until summer 2027.
