Nigeria striker and 2013 AFCON winner Brown Ideye has signed with Enyimba till the end of the 2024/25 season.
Ifeanyi Ekwueme, the Aba giants’ sporting director and former international, confirmed this on Tuesday.
He stated, “Yes, the conversations have been going on for a while and we finished it yesterday. “He will be with us until the end of the season and we believe he will enhance our team’s assault as we compete in the league and the continent.”
Ideye, 36, has been without a club since departing Kuwaiti side Al Yarmouk in 2022, but he is now ready to return to Nigeria’s top division, following former international teammates Ahmed Musa and Abdullahi Shehu, who are presently playing for Kano Pillars.
The move would also mark Ideye’s return to the domestic scene 17 years after leaving Ocean Boys in 2006.
Enyimba has two key local and continental matches in the next five days, first against Sunshine Stars in a postponed NPFL encounter on Wednesday and then against Black Bulls in Maputo, Mozambique, in their third group game of the CAF Confederation Cup.
