Okoye made his first appearance for Udinese in the Coppa Italia defeat to Cagliari on Wednesday night.
The 23-year-old put up a good performance in the game, but conceded late, with Udinese bowing out of the competition after a 2-1 defeat.
It was unfortunate, but I think that in recent times we have been developing a good mentality, offensive and patient, he told the clubs official website.
I thank the club for giving me this opportunity to play, I will learn from this experience. Its been a long time since I saw the pitch, I also thank the fans. Im sure I will enjoy playing for this shirt.
Okoye also expressed disappointment with the failure of the club to scale through to the next round.
I think we pushed hard, some of us have waited a long time for this moment. We wanted to play and win, its difficult to finish like this because we conceded goals in the last minute, he admitted.
I would have been ready to face penalties but unfortunately we didnt get there.
Okoye joined Udinese from Sky Bet Championship club Watford in the summer.
The shot stopper endured a torrid spell at Watford last summer where he made just two appearances.
He earned a recall to the Nigeria national team last month and will be looking forward to making the squad to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote dIvoire.
