Chinwuza Gabriel Melkam (born March 13, 1980 in Lagos ) is a retired Nigerian football player .
Career
Melkam started playing soccer in his hometown at Stationary Stores FC Lagos . He later joined Kwara United Ilorin before moving to Germany in 1998. Until 2001, the defender played three years for SG Wattenscheid 09 in the 2nd Bundesliga and the Regionalliga . In 2001 he moved back to the second division for Karlsruher SC , for which the Nigerian played 56 games in two years and scored four goals.
In the summer of 2003, Melkam was hired by Hansa Rostock in the Bundesliga . After he had 18 missions in the first season at the Baltic Sea, he only played once in the following season due to cartilage damage in his right knee. After the Rostock descent, the defender went to Sportfreunde Siegen . Here he played again regularly, but rose from the bottom of the table from the 2nd Bundesliga.
Melkam then moved to the Chinese Super League to Xiamen Lanshi . But even with his new club he had to relegate in 2007 as bottom of the table, but was then signed by the reigning champions Changchun Yatai FC . After two seasons in Changchun, he moved to Guangzhou Evergrande in 2010 within the league . After his last club, Quingdao Jonoon, split from Melkam in January 2014, the player ended his career after a brief absence from a club.
In 1999 Melkam took part in the junior soccer world championship with the Nigerian youth national team. At the tournament at home he reached the quarter-finals with the team.
Gabriel Melkams brother Innocent sometimes played with him at KSC.
