Career
Playing for a host of Singaporean minor league sides,[2] Eziakor signed for Hougang United FC of Singapore's top division in 2013[5] and was handed the number 20.[2] Registering the most goals for his team in pre-season, he formed a good strike partnership with Guinean Mamadou Diallo, aiming to be on the top scorers charts by the end of the season.[2] During an interview, Eziakor maintained that it was difficult for him to get back into shape for professional football since he was less fit from plying his trade with semi-pro clubs.[2]
The forward has stated that he has enjoyed the vehemence and support of the Hougang HOOLS, his team's fan club during his time there.[2]
