Elohor Godswill Epokoli (born 14 May 1995) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays for Cypriot First Division club AEK Larnaca. Mainly a right back, he can also play as a central defender.
Ekpolo moved with his family to Spain from Nigeria in 2002, and settled in Tarragona. He came through the youth team at FC Barcelona, and played for the reserve team and captained the under-21 team, before he was released in June 2016.[2]
After a trial at Wolverhampton Wanderers in July 2016,[3] he signed with English League One side Fleetwood Town on a contract of undisclosed length in November.[4] He scored his first goal for Fleetwood in an EFL Trophy tie against Leicester City Under-23s on 29 August 2017.[5]
Having been replaced at right-back by Everton loanee Gethin Jones, Ekpolo returned to Spain on 26 January 2018 and signed for Mérida AD of Segunda División B.[6]
On 29 June 2018, Ekpolo signed a six-month deal with Swedish Allsvenskan side BK Häcken,[7] and on 12 October it was extended to the end of 2021.[8]
