Nine-time Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions, Enyimba FC, have strengthened their squad with the signing of former Super Eagles forward, Brown Ideye.
Ideye, who has played and garnered experience from several clubs in Europe, joins Enyimba on a short-term deal.
The Aba-based club aimed at strengthening their campaign for the remainder of the season, with the addition of the 36-year-old striker.
“We are delighted to officially announce the addition of former Super Eagles striker Brown Ideye to our fold,” the club stated.
“We are confident in the experience and professionalism he will bring to our remaining matches this season, especially under the guidance of our new coach.”
Ideye started from the NPFL, playing for Ocean Boys in the 2006/07 season, before switching abroad.
He then went on to play in European top leagues, featuring for West Bromwich Albion and Ligue 1’s Montpellier.
The 2013 African Cup of Nations winner recently played for Kuwaiti side Al-Yarmouk.
Ideye’s return to Nigerian football follows a trend of former Super Eagles stars like Ahmed Musa and Shehu Abdullahi, who returned to the domestic league after careers abroad.
