Precious Emuejeraye (born 21 March 1983 in Nigeria) is a naturalised Singaporean footballer he Last played for Churchill Brothers in the I-League.

Club career

Real Madrid Castilla and Real Madrid

Emuejeraye was 15, in 1998 when he was signed by Real Madrid's developmental Real Madrid Castilla, who scouted him in Nigeria when he was featuring in an U-23 league match. Castilla's scout at that time, Fernando Silva, pointed out that at just 15, Emuejeraye was already "built like a tank" and "towered above the rest of his teammates and opposition". He also added that Emuejeraye was a "centre-back that barged his way down the middle effectively to the opposition's box to create chances" and that was when Silva knew he had to bring him back to Madrid for trials.

Emuejeraye easily made his way through his one-week trial and started featuring in Castilla's league matches as a substitute. One year later, at 16, he started training with Real Madrid.

Real's manager at that time, John Toshack, was utterly impressed with the way Emuejeraye played and as such, made it his duty to get him to Madrid before he ended his tenure in November that same year. He had big plans for Emuejeraye, placing him at the back with Fernando Hierro. He scored his first and only goal for Madrid with a thumping header against AC Milan in a Santiago Bernabeu Trophy match on 24 August 1999.

Emuejeraye picked up a serious injury which sidelined him throughout the 2000/2001 La Liga season.

Jurong FC

Emuejeraye came to Singapore in 2002 from Nigeria after being signed by the now-defunct S-League side Jurong FC. He made his debut for Jurong on February 21, 2002 against Sembawang Rangers and scored his first goal for the club in the Singapore Cup semi-final against Geylang United in the same year.[1]

Young Lions

Even though Jurong FC folded a year later, his impressive performances in league did not go unnoticed, as the Young Lions signed him next.

Gombak United

In 2006, Gombak United snapped up the burly defender after doing well in his 3 years with the Young Lions. He won the 2008 Singapore League Cup with the bulls.[2]

Woodlands Wellington

He was snapped up by new Woodlands Wellington FC's coach, Nenad Bacina, who signed him for the 2009 season.

Move to Indonesia

Following the disbandment of the national team due to poor showings in the AFF Suzuki cup, he moved to Indonesia to start afresh.[1] He signed for Indonesia Super League club, Sriwijaya and helped the club to the 2010 Piala Indonesia.[3]

He next move to Persija Jakarta before moving to Persiba Balikpapan.[1] He was, however, sacked by the club following poor performances.[4] He trained with Woodlands Wellington before being snapped up by Persidafon Dafonsoro and made his debut for the club in a 3-1 loss against his former club Sriwijaya FC on 16 May 2013.[5]

Persidafon Dafonsoro proved to be his last club in Indonesia as a decrease in the slots for Asian players from two to one saw him return home in 2014.[6]

Home United

Before signing for S. League club Home United in 2014, Emuejeraye went on trials in Thailand but found that many clubs have filled their foreign signing slots. His chance at Home came as a coincidence as he was merely looking for somewhere to train to keep himself match fit and stumbled upon Home's training who coincidentally had a free slot left for registration.[6] He was released at the end of the season.

Putrajaya SPA

Following his release by Home United, Emuejeraya was left without a club before being snapped up by Malaysia Premier League bottom-dwellers Putrajaya SPA FC. He had a debut to forget as he scored an own goal in a 3-1 loss to UiTM.[7]

Eunos Cresent FC

Emuejeraya has failed to earn a professional contract in Singapore and played for amateur side Eunos Crescent in the National Football League, winning the title in 2016.[8][9]

Churchill Hill Brothers

It was announced in late-November 2017 that Emuejeraye has signed for I-League side Churchill Brothers, becoming the first foreign signing for the team in the upcoming season.[9]

International career

In December 2005, he was awarded the citizenship of Singapore and the head coach of the national football team, Radojko Avramovic duly gave him his international debut in a friendly against Denmark on the 26 January 2006. He then became the third Nigerian to play for the national team, after Itimi Dickson and Agu Casmir.

His performances in the national team colours at first were met with criticisms from the supporters, citing that his speed was making the whole defence a liability. But soon, people realised that he was able to use his sheer build and strength to make up for the lack of speed and soon became a firm fixture in the first team of the national squad.

As of November 2017, Emuejeraye has earned 61 caps for the Singapore national team.[9]

Personal life

His wife is Nigerian. He is the elder brother of Alfred Emuejeraye. He is currently residing in Singapore with his wife and children (2 sons, 1 daughter)
