Belgium

Earning minimum wage without inking a contract with Genk, Ekeren, and Tielen,[9] Nwachukwu turned out for KSK Beveren in the preseason of 1998–99, bagging a brace in a friendly with Nieuwkerken-Waas which ended 3–1, before going on to appear in 6 league and cup games for Beveren and departing in 1999.[10]

Canada

Starting for the first time with Montreal Impact when they hosted the Vancouver 86ers in 2000,[11] the Nigerian was regarded as a palpable threat in the league for the Impact and had his contract extended in 2001[12] despite suffering an injury the previous season.[13]

England

Impressed at Dagenham & Redbridge with two friendly goals in 2002.[14]
