Ifeanyi Eze enjoyed a standout campaign in the Iraq Star League after joining Al-Karkh SC.
Eze scored 15 goals and provided five assists in 36 appearances, 34 of which were starts.
He also scored in the Iraq FA Cup.
Phoenix head coach Giancarlo Italiano has hailed Eze as a fantastic signing for the club.
“He has all of the attributes I was looking for in an attacker. He can score goals, he’s very fast, he can dribble at pace and his intention is to always go forward.
“Eze’s got this nice instinct where as soon as he gets around the 18-yard box he’s looking to shoot or create. He can also link quite well.
“And the most important thing for me is he’s a really, really good person.”
