Chigozie Udoji (born 16 July 1986), also known by his Bulgarian name Mitko Georgiev (Bulgarian: Митко Георгиев),[1] is a Nigerian[2] former professional footballer who played as a striker.
Udoji moved to Bulgaria in 2004 and was initially signed by Vihren Sandanski. In 2007, he was transferred to CSKA Sofia where he stayed until the summer of 2009. The Nigerian then played for Asteras Tripolis in Greece before relocating to Romania in 2011.[3] He scored two goals for Atromitos, both against OFI, before leaving the club. Udoji joined Aris in July 2013. He scored three goals in his first unofficial match, against National Gazoros.[4] He was part of the Belarusian Premier League team Dinamo Minsk's squad between March 2014[5] and late January 2016, appearing in 70 matches, scoring 21 goals and making 7 assists in all tournaments.[6] On 3 March 2017, he moved to Norwegian club Lillestrøm.[7] Udoji joined Cypriot side Enosis Neon Paralimni in the summer of 2018.[8]
In 2007 Udoji played for Bulgaria U21 in a friendly match against Greece U21. He scored two goals. The result of the match was a 4–1 win for Bulgaria. He was subsequently found to be ineligible and could from then on only represent Nigeria.[9]
In July 2006, Udoji received a Bulgarian passport and a Bulgarian name, Mitko Atanasov Georgiev.
