Elohor Godswill Ekpolo (born 14 May 1995), simply known as Godswill, is a Nigerian footballer who plays as a right back for Spanish club Barcelona B.
Career[edit]
Born in Benin City, Godswill emigrated with his parents to Tarragona, Catalonia, in 2001 at the age of six, immediately joining CDC Torreforta.[1] He moved to FC Barcelona's youth ranks in 2005, and was a part of their under-19 team which won the 2013–14 UEFA Youth League,[2] scoring four goals along the way.[3]
On 22 August 2015, he made his senior debut for the reserve team in Segunda División B, playing the final four minutes of a 2–1 defeat at UE Cornellà in place of Xavi Quintillà.[4]
Style of play[edit]
British broadcaster Talksport described Godswill in February 2014 as physically strong full-back with a goalscoring knack, resembling his idol Eric Abidal in his manner of play.[3]
