Godwin Omenaka, former JL Bourg-en-Bresse and SLUC Nancy player, joins Boulazac Basket Dordogne. The 2.06m Nigerian center will bring his verticality, energy, and physical impact to the Périgordian team.
Who is Godwin Omenaka?
Godwin Omenaka is a 25-year-old Nigerian center, partly trained in Hungary. He has played in Germany, Italy, and China, accumulating valuable international experience for a player of his age.
Why this choice for Boulazac?
The choice of Omenaka is not a coincidence. The BBD staff, led by coach Alexandre Ménard, has been following the Nigerian center for several years, particularly during his time in Pro B.
Coach Alexandre Ménard stated: « We are pleased to welcome Godwin to strengthen our team. This powerful and explosive interior player will mainly play at position 5 and should bring us dissuasion and verticality ».
What impact for JL Bourg-en-Bresse?
The arrival of Godwin Omenaka at Boulazac could have an impact on JL Bourg-en-Bresse, which has already lost several key players during the 2026 offseason. The Bressan club will have to find solutions to replace these departures and maintain its level of competitiveness in Betclic Élite.
Boulazac Basket Dordogne has already recruited several players for the 2026-2027 season, including Ousman Krubally, Essomé Miyem, and Obinna Anochili-Killen. The Périgordian club is still looking to recruit a combo-guard to replace Angelo Warner, as well as a French shooting guard to replace Hugo Robineau.
