Justin Ikechukwu Obiora Amaluzor (born 17 October 1996) is an English-Nigerian footballer who plays as a forward. He was previously known as Justin Nwogu.[3]

Career

Nwogu played youth football for Luton Town, AFC Kempston Rovers, where he scored 55 goals at U15 and U16 level,[4][5] and AFC Rushden & Diamonds[6] before joining Dartford on a two-year scholarship in 2013.[7] Nwogu joined Kent Football United, of the Kent Invicta Football League, on loan in February 2015. Following four goals in his first two games, manager Sam MacNeil said that "Justin has been a revelation so far for us. Coming in as a fresh 18 year old new to senior football he has took his first two games by storm... The boy has tremendous talent and has given us a major threat in behind teams and a natural finish to our moves... During his time with the club he will make a name for himself and I am sure will be playing a very high level of football in years to come."[8]

Nwogu joined Barnet in April 2015, and played for the under-18s for the remainder of the season before signing a one-year professional contract two months later.[9] He made his League Two debut when he came on as a 53rd-minute substitute for Luke Gambin in a 3–1 win over York City on his 19th birthday on 17 October 2015.[10] Nwogu, along with teammate Charlie Kennedy, joined Hayes & Yeading United on loan in February 2016.[11] He scored his first goal for Barnet in an EFL Trophy game against Peterborough United on 8 November 2016.[12] He then went on loan to Hemel Hempstead Town in January 2017.[13] He joined Hemel on loan for a second time on 7 September 2017,[14] and then left the club for a fourth loan spell, this time with Hampton & Richmond Borough, in December 2017.[15] He then joined Bognor Regis Town on loan in March 2018.[16] He was released by Barnet at the end of the 2017–18 season.[17]

Amaluzor joined Braintree Town on 31 August 2018.[18]
