Charles Nduka

Quickly making an impact after joining Victory in January 2026, Japanese forward Charles Nduka extended his stay in Melbourne until the 2027/28 season after signing a contract extension.

Representing multiple teams across Japan’s second and third divisions, Nduka became Victory’s first-ever signing identified through the world-renowned data and insights company Jamestown Analytics during last season’s January transfer window.

In his first season abroad, the 27-year-old recorded five goals and two assists in 13 appearances for the Boys in Blue, leading the line with his physically imposing playstyle.
