The 27-year-old defensive midfielder exited Brentford at the start of the season due to playing time discrepancies. He eventually got his wish with the Bundesliga side, starting 30 of their 34 league games.
Onyeka is now set to return to Brentford to fight for his place ahead of the 2025/2026 season, but was thankful for his experience in Germany.

“I want to say thank you to everyone at the club, they made me feel welcome and at home. If I look back on the season, we did great things; we unfortunately lost some games, but what we wanted to achieve in our minds as a team, we couldn’t do that.
“Big credit to everyone- the players and coaches, I guess they’ll keep going, and I hope next season, they’ll achieve better,” the AFCON 2023 finalist said in an interview posted on Augsburg’s official website.
“My main goal coming here was to start every game, which I’d say I achieved, again, thanks to the trainers and teammates who believed in my ability to help the team. Yes, I guess I did everything to help in every way I could. I’ll say I’m partially satisfied because we didn’t get what we hoped for.
“I have good feelings. Like I said when I came here, I thought it’d be difficult, but everyone made it much easier, so I have a good feeling leaving this place,” Onyeka concluded.
Onyeka helped FC Augsburg to a 12th-place finish on the Bundesliga table, nine points behind the UEFA Europa League qualifying spots.
