Kingsley Ebere Umunegbu (born 28 October 1989) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Italian Serie A club Milan.
[edit] Career
After playing in their youth team, Umunegbu made his official debut for Milan in a Coppa Italia game against Catania on 20 December 2007, coming off the bench at half time.[1]
For the 2008–09 season he was loaned out to Serie B club Salernitana.[2] He left the club after only six months,[3] due to lack of playing time, and was subsequently loaned to Prima Divisione side Portogruaro.[4] The following season he was sent on loan to Varese,[5] but finished the season with no league appearances. At the start of the 2010–11 season he was loaned out again, this time to Seconda Divisione club Renate.
At the beginning of the 2011–12 season, Umunegbu signed for Chiasso on a free transfer, but during the January transfer window he came back to Milan as they needed a player to fill in their second non-EU spot, which otherwise would have been lost.[6][7]
