Career
Magashy started his career in Nigerian club FC Heart.[2] In 2018 he moved to Sweden, joining lowly Växjö United. Already after half a season he moved to Division 1 club Kristianstad FC. His breakthrough came in IFK Värnamo, where he participated in back-to-back promotions from the 2020 Division 1 and 2021 Superettan. As Magashy played every game of Värnamo's maiden 2022 Allsvenskan campaign, he caught the attention of bigger clubs.[3][4]
Ahead of the 2023 season, Magashy was signed by AIK as a starter.[5] As AIK changed managers in the running of the 2023 Allsvenskan, Magashy was benched for the first time in his career.[6] He was reportedly discussed as a new signing in several Swedish and Norwegian clubs,[7][8] He ended up joining Kalmar FF.[9] The 2024 Allsvenskan ended in relegation.
