Looking forward to seeing him in action and it certainly is good news to see we have another option up front as we enter a critical period of our season. Welcome Thomas.

i saw ferencvaros play a few times during the 2003/2004 season, cant say that i remember him though. hopefully he'll be happy here. Ferencvaros have a hardcore fascist support and i remember a Hungarian friend telling me that Ferencvaros used to have one black player in their team (might have been him, dunno) who used to get constant abuse from his own support, even when he scored for them. i'm sure he'll feel welcome here though

He was born in Lagos, Nigeria apparently.

I wonder how he ended up playing for Hungary. It's a small world these days, I suppose.

Re: Thomas Sowunmi signs for Hibs

He has dual nationality (Hungary/Nigeria).

I see there's a Showunmi (also Nigerian) who plays for Bristol City.

Re: Thomas Sowunmi signs for Hibs

This is the opinion of a Hungarian fitba fan on Thomas, sounds like he needs some games to get his confidence up....

Carbajal says...

"So, to put things in order. Thomas was born in Nigeria, but raised in Hungary, in Dunaujvaros. I happen to know a good friend of him. When he appeared in the Hungarian league, everybody was just astonished at his pace: his ability to pass through the defensive lines was really nice to see. Though, pretty soon, one could see that despite this, he does not score enough - he was a kind of "could not hit a barn door" striker - look the charts, he never had a double-figure scoring tally. But there were really high hopes in him - then it just faded. He had a number of comebacks, even a new call-up to the NT (he had the first around 2000, scored against Azerbaidjan, I think), had a reasonably good year in Slovakia.
So: he is a well built lad, lots of physical qualities which will suit the Scottish style. Put him out after the training with a task to hit the goal ten times out of twenty at least and give him confidence. It might work out - and be completely wrong. The contract length is a fine decision. I would be glad to see a rebirth of him.


"He was a kind of "could not hit a barn door" striker...."

Good news, we need a striker. Doubt McManus will get offered a contract now.

Re: Thomas Sowunmi signs for Hibs

I'd still sign McManus as well. Sowunmi played v Hearts at Murrayfield in the UEFA Cup Group Stage 2004-2005, they lost 1-0 to Ferencvaros and were eliminated. He has a few caps for Hungary in various competitions, mostly against quite big sides actually (Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Holland etc.) and also played both legs v Millwall in the UEFA Cup a few years ago.
