Career

Iloenyosi has played professionally for Tennis Borussia Berlin,[1] Çaykur Rizespor, Ittihad FC, Asteras Tripoli and Al-Ittihad Club.[2][3]

Iloenyosi featured the Nigeria national under-20 football team at the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship. He earned four senior caps for Nigeria in 2000[2] and was a standby player for the 2000 Olympics.

Personal life
