NINE-TIME Nigerian champions, Enyimba, have announce the signing of 2013 AFCON winner, Brown Ideye, until the end of the current season.
The Aba giants confirmed the new addition in a statement it posted on its X handle on Monday.
“We are delighted to officially announce the addition of former Super Eagles Striker, Brown Ideye to our fold.
“We are expectant of the experience & professionalism he will add to our game/quest in our remaining games, this season especially under the New Gaffer,” the statement read.
Since leaving Kuwaiti side Al Yarmouk in 2022, the 36-year-old has been without a club since. He joins former international teammates Ahmed Musa and Abdullahi Shehu who are currently playing for Kano Pillars in the league.
It marks the return of Ideye to the domestic league 17 years after leaving Ocean Boys to Europe where he spent years playing for Neuchâtel Xamax, Sochaux and Dynamo Kyiv.
The Aba Elephants will be hoping that the addition of Ideye will help them end recent dip in form which has seen them dismiss coach Head Coach Yemi Olarenwaju and hired Stanley Eguma to take over.
Enyimba wielded the big stick after going nine games without a win.
