Erhun Obanor (born 5 September 1995) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Saudi First Division League club Al-Zulfi.
A native of Benin City, Obanor is a product of the BJ Foundation Academy.[1] He was loaned out at the start of the 2012-2013 season to the second-tier side COD United F.C.[2] Mid-2013, he was loaned on to top-tier side Bendel Insurance.,[3] playing a season there before being sub-loaned to Abia Warriors F.C. until November 2015.[4] In January 2016, Obanor signed a 3.5-year long contract with the Tunisian greats Club Africain, but had to cancel it and return to Nigeria because of dubious transfer fee reasons.[5] In April 2016, he was loaned on by BJ Academy to MFM F.C.[6]
Obanor moved abroad, however, already in July 2017, signing for SpVgg Greuther Fürth in Germany,[7] joining the team in September of the same year, following the 2016 Summer Olympics.[7] However, he didn't break into the team, and found himself unable to get any playing time, his nationality preventing him from playing for the reserves.[8] His contract was finally rescinded in the summer of 2018, and he moved to NK Rudeš in Croatia.[9]
After two years playing in Albania for Kukësi and KF Laçi, Obanor returned to Croatia to sign for Istra in June 2021.[10]
Having only accumulated a single league appearance for the Croatian side in 2021, Obanor was sent in January 2022 on loan to the Cypriot First Division side PAEEK until the end of the season.[11]
On 1 August 2023, Obanor joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Ain.[12] On 30 July 2024, Obanor joined Al-Zulfi.[13]
Obanor was a member of the Nigeria national football team.[14] He was selected by Nigeria for their 35-man provisional squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics.[15]
