Chrisantus Macauley Joins Saudi Club Hetten FC

Former Golden Eaglets forward Chrisantus Macauley has linked up with Saudi Arabian second tier club Hetten FC.

Chrisantus, 29, who finished as top-scorer at the 2007 Fifa Under-17 World Cup, was snapped up by the struggling side on a deal until the end of the season.

His seven goals helped Nigeria to a third global success and also earned him the Silver Ball for second-best player at the biennial tournament.
