Jude Ikechukwu Nworuh (born 9 June 1989 in Lagos) is a Nigerian professional footballer who is currently a free agent.

Career

Nworuh began his career at F.C. Ebedei in Lagos, Nigeria, which is the former youth team of Obafemi Martins and many other successful Nigerian footballers. He was a top scorer at F.C. Ebedei, which led to a move to the Danish Club, Midtjylland, who at the time were scouting heavily in Nigeria.

On 20 September 2008 he was injured during a match, resulting in a skull fracture. He was operated later that night in Aarhus, and made a full recover.

He played his first UEFA Cup game in 2008, and featured again in the UEFA Europa League (name change) in 2011.[1]

He was loaned out to Fredericia to get more playing time and then on 4 September 2012 he signed a contract with AC Horsens. He has been a consistent scorer for AC Horsens, and has been their highest goalscorer every season after his first season with them.

On 7 September 2017, Nworuh signed with Indian Super League franchise Chennaiyin FC.[2] He made 11 appearances, with his team winning the league. On 4 June 2018, it was announced that he was released by the club.[3]
