Brain Uwalakaji Chinedu (born 17 December 2004), sometimes known as Brain Obosso, is a Nigerian footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club Real Valladolid Promesas.
Career
Born in Umuaka, Chinedu played for local side Emmydinho FC, and also had a short stint at Czech side SK Líšeň as a youth. In August 2024, he moved to Croatian Prva NL side NK BSK Bijelo Brdo, signing a three-year deal with the club.[1]
Rarely used by the side, Chinedu began appearing with affiliate side NK Radnički Dalj in November 2024, playing in the Treća NL.[2] In August 2025, he left Bijelo Brdo to join Spanish side CF Talavera de la Reina, but the move did not materialize.
On 1 February 2026, Chinedu was announced at Real Valladolid on a three-and-a-half-year contract, being initially assigned to the reserves in Segunda Federación.[3] Six days later, he scored a hat-trick for the B-side in a 7–2 home routing of Real Ávila CF.[4]
Despite only featuring in 14 matches, Chinedu scored eight goals for Promesas, and made his first team debut on 31 May 2026, coming on as a late substitute for Stipe Biuk in a 1–0 Segunda División away loss to UD Almería.[5][6]
