Enyimba FC has officially announced the signing of Brown Ideye, a former striker for the Super Eagles, as their newest addition to the team. The Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) champions have secured the services of Ideye for the remainder of the season after he trained with the team last month.
Ideye, who had previously been training with Rivers United, did not receive a contract offer from the Port Harcourt team. However, Enyimba saw potential in the experienced striker and decided to bring him on board to bolster their squad for the upcoming matches.
The 36-year-old striker was introduced by the People’s Elephant in Aba on Monday amidst much excitement from the fans. Enyimba’s official website released a statement, expressing their delight in signing Ideye and highlighting the experience and professionalism he would bring to the team under the guidance of the new coach.
Having started his career with Ocean Boys in the 2006–07 season, Ideye has since played for reputable clubs such as Dynamo Kiev and West Bromwich Albion. After a stint with Al-Yarmouk in Kuwait, Ideye is now making a return to the NPFL to showcase his skills and talent once again.
The signing of Brown Ideye is expected to add depth and quality to Enyimba’s squad as they aim to secure victories in the remaining games of the season. With his wealth of experience and goal-scoring prowess, Ideye is poised to make a significant impact and contribute to the team’s success on the pitch.
As Enyimba prepares for the challenges ahead, fans are eagerly anticipating the debut of Brown Ideye in the blue and white colors of the club. With his proven track record and determination to succeed, Ideye is set to play a crucial role in Enyimba’s quest for glory in the NPFL.
