Nigerian international Gift Orban has vowed to help Hoffenheim avoid relegation from the German Bundesliga at the end of the season.

Die Kraichgauer currently sit in 14th position in the German top flight with 27 points after 28 games.

Orban has registered four goals in 12 appearances for the Village Club this season, since joining the club from Olympic Lyon last January.

With just six matches left to play, the 22-year-old has expressed his desire to score more goals to help his side escape relegation.

“Hoffenheim is a good club, but in a difficult situation. Many clubs contacted me in the winter, but here the management treated me with respect and convinced me,” he told the club’s official website.

“I now want to score even more goals and work hard to ensure that we stay in the league.”

Hoffenheim will take on Mainz in their next Bundesliga encounter at home this weekend.
