""For me, as long as I'm keeping fit, playing and scoring, that's it for me, I'm happy with that," Sheffield-born Sodje told BBC Sport. "When I first signed for Buxton, my aim and what I told myself was 'let's go score, let's go score'. And to actually do it has been a real confidence boost. "I back myself to score no matter what level it is. I want to play at the highest level I possibly can. That and scoring goals are what drives me.""
""a skilful centre-forward who marries vision, craft, guile and potent finishing power to great effect""
Tai Sodje is a 22-year-old Sheffield-born forward with a sporting family background, son of former rugby speedster Bright and nephew of ex-Nigeria internationals Efe and Sam. He joined Manchester City's academy at 11 after leaving Sheffield United and spent ten years with the club, topping City's Under-18 scoring with 19 league goals in one season. Repeated injury setbacks delayed his senior breakthrough, leading to his release from the Premier League club. After signing for Buxton in the National League North he scored 14 goals in his first four months, helping set up an FA Cup second-round tie against Cheltenham Town. He aims to play at the highest level and prioritises fitness, playing time and scoring.
