Prince Oniangue signed for Wolves in 2016 from Reims and it’s not not too unfair to say things never really worked out for him.
Two years as a Wolves owned player included loan moves to Bastia and Angers and the midfielder played more matches for both of those sides than he did at his parent club.
A permanent exit this summer always seemed on the cards and Oniangue did enough at Angers to attract interest in France.
Whilst a return to Caen, where he came through as a youth player, perhaps wasn’t the immediate choice, the 29 year old has explained he’s been attracted by the Ligue 1 club’s ambition, just like when he moved to Wolverhampton.
“It’s so unstable… over there, we’ve already seen coaches being sacked when they were fifth in the league. I had started very well. I played and I had the confidence of the coach. Until he is fired, four months after my arrival. A second has arrived, with his players. Then a third. It was then time for me to make a decision. Caen showed up at the right moment.”
Caen are currently preparing for their first match of the Ligue 1 season. It’s not going to be easy… away to PSG.
