Obule became part of FCM’s academy in January 2022 when he joined the central Jutland side from the club’s Nigerian partner club, FC Ebedei.
“We have seen enough from Moses that we can make a five-year contract with him. He has had a really good time at U19, where he has also trained with the first team and shown himself well,” says sporting director Svend Graversen.
“He is a dynamic player who has a great capacity and is very tenacious. It is always gratifying when players from FC Ebedei come through the system.”

The Midtjylland management believes the loan deal will help release the potential that Obule possesses.
“As part of his development, we have chosen to lease Moses to Mafra, where he will gain invaluable first-team experience at a good level,” says Svend Graversen.
Obule made a name for himself in FCM’s summer start when he scored the decisive goal in the first team’s 3-2 test win over OB.
