Nnaemeka Anyamele (born 16 May 1994) a Finnish footballer who plays as a left-back for Veikkausliiga side HIFK. He has previously played for Klubi-04, FC Honka, Pallohonka, and Gnistan.

Club career

Anyamele spent his youth with Helsingin Ponnistus and HJK, before he joined Klubi-04. He made his Kakkonen debut with Klubi on 4 August 2011, coming on as a half-time substitute for Henri Lassila in a 5–0 win over Sudet at the Sonera Stadium.[2] He made four further appearances in the 2011 season, before scoring two goals in 20 appearances in the 2012 campaign. He scored his first goal in senior football on 21 April 2012, in a 6–0 home win over LoPa.[3]

He joined Mika Lehkosuo's FC Honka of the Veikkausliiga for the 2013 season, and was loaned out to Pallohonka back in the Kakkonen. Honka finished as runners-up to HJK, with Anyamele scoring one goal in 12 league games. He won a regular first team place under new manager Shefki Kuqi during the 2014 campaign, scoring five goals in 37 games as the club were relegated in 11th-place. He also played twice in the UEFA Europa League, featuring in both legs of the club's 3–2 aggregate victory over Estonian side Sillamäe Kalev.[4] Anyamele signed a two-year contract with HIFK in November 2014, and said that manager Jani Honkavaara's promise to play him at left-back convinced him to join the club.[5] He spent the 2015 and 2016 seasons at the club, scoring three goals in 53 games.

International career

Anyamele is of Nigerian descent, but has represented Finland at youth-team level.[6]
