Career
Malta
Journeying to Malta for the prevalence of football opportunities there in 2001, Nwoke trialed for Birkirkara that year which proved unsuccessful.[1]
Nwoke was on the verge of taking up contract with Pieta Hotspurs in 2005 but the deal fell through.[2]
Attracting foreign interest through his time with Msida,[3] the Nigerian concluded a move to Qormi in 2011,[4] bagging four goals in his first 2 outings[1] and earning the Player of the Month award for January.[5] before parting ways with the club in early 2012.[6]
Finland
On trial with Tampere United, then of the Finnish Veikkausliiga in 2006,[7] Nwoke extended his contract in 2008,[8] parting ways with the club in 2009 and trialling with Hämeenlinna in 2012.[9]
