WSG Tirol presented Michael Olakigbe as their new signing on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Englishman comes on loan for a year from the Premier League club FC Brentford to Wattens.

What does the transfer mean for WSG Tirol?

The winger was active on loan for Swindon Town in the past half year, making 16 appearances for the fourth-tier club.

How will Olakigbe support the team?

With Michael Olakigbe, we get a winger who brings exactly what we need on the outside: speed, courage in one-on-one situations, and the quality to outplay an opponent, but also to put our strikers in position.

What does the manager say about Olakigbe?

„Michael has shown at Brentford, in various U-national teams, and on his loan assignments in England that he wants to take responsibility, has a very good work ethic, and also has the willingness to continuously develop himself“, said manager Stefan Köck. Olakigbe played eight times for Brentford in the English top flight in the 2023/24 season.

How important is the transfer for WSG Tirol's future?

We are very happy that he wants to take his next development step with our WSG Tirol and are convinced that he will enrich our offense with momentum, depth, and real goal danger. Welcome to WSG, Michael!
