He burst into the limelight in November 2017 in a pre-world cup friendly against Argentina in Russia and was impressive in goal and became the first choice keeper going to the FIFA World Cup the following year.
However, lack of playing time has forced head coach, Gernot Rohr to demote Uzoho to the third choice in the team.
