Udochukwu Nwoko (born 15 October 1984) is a Maltese-Nigerian footballer who currently plays for Maltese First Division side Gudja United, where he plays as a midfielder. ==Playing career== Born in Abia, Nigeria, Nwoko moved to Malta at the age of 14 in the hope that it could one day lead him to one of the top leagues in Europe. He started his career at Hibernians. His main break came during the 2002–03 season, where he made 16 appearances for the club, but failed to find the net. He then moved to Xewkija Tigers of the Gozo Football League in 2004, and transformed into a predator in front of goal. Nwoko hit 15 goals in just 17 appearances, and became one of the hottest prospects in Maltese football. Following the successful spell with Xewkija Tigers, Nwoko found himself back in the Maltese Premier League joining Mosta for the 2005–06 season. He made 20 appearances and scored six goals for the club, but it wasn't enough to save the club, and they were relegated by the difference of a point. Despite the relegation, Nwoko's form hadn't gone unnoticed and was re-signed by his first club Hibernians for the 2006–07 season, getting another chance to play in the Maltese Premier League. He made 13 appearances with the club and scored one goal. He then moved on loan to fellow Maltese Premier League side Marsaxlokk for the remainder of 2007. He made 11 appearances, but failed to score any goals; he did however finish the season as a part of the 2006–07 championship-winning squad and won his first ever Maltese Premier League.〔(Camisa 12 Timbu - O 12° jogador do Náutico )〕 In 2007, he moved to Portuguese club Leixões, where he marked his debut with a goal against giants Benfica.
