FK Bodo/Glimt, the Norwegian Eliteserien champions, have announced the signing of Nigerian winger Gift Sunday on a four-year contract. The 18-year-old joins the club from P Sports Academy in Nigeria, following in the footsteps of compatriot Victor Boniface, who also shares the same agent, Atta Aneke.
Sunday’s move to FK Bodo/Glimt presents a significant opportunity for the young forward to develop his skills and showcase his pace and dribbling ability in front of the club’s supporters at Aspmyra Stadium.

FK Bodo/Glimt’s sporting administrative manager, Håvard Sakariassen, welcomed Sunday, saying, “Gift, we have followed each other for a longer period, and he has previously visited us during a training stay. Now we are looking forward to getting to know him even better.”
Sunday impressed the coaching staff during a trial last month, earning his first professional contract. The club’s scout discovered him during a tournament in Nigeria, leading to an invitation for further assessment.
This signing marks a significant milestone for Sunday, who joins a club with a strong track record of developing young talent. FK Bodo/Glimt has won three league titles since 2020, establishing themselves as a rising force in Norwegian football.
Sunday begins his journey with FK Bodo/Glimt and he will be eager to make a swift impact and justify the club’s faith in his abilities. With his pace, skill, and determination, the young Nigerian winger has the potential to become a key player for the club in the years to come.
FK Bodo/Glimt continues to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, with Sunday’s signing following a series of strategic additions. The club’s ambition and commitment to developing young talent make them an exciting prospect for the upcoming campaign.
