Nine-time Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) champions, Enyimba International FC, have made a major statement of intent by securing the services of experienced striker Brown Ideye. The former Super Eagles star and 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) champion joins the Aba-based club on a contract that runs until the end of the 2024/25 season.
Ideye, who last played for Kuwaiti Division One club Al-Yarmouk, brings a wealth of experience and pedigree to Enyimba. The 35-year-old striker is renowned for his pace, physicality, and knack for scoring crucial goals. His signing comes as Enyimba aim to strengthen their squad and reclaim dominance in both domestic and continental competitions.
Joining forces with national teammates Shehu Abdullahi and Ahmed Musa, Ideye’s addition adds firepower to an already star-studded squad. Abdullahi and Musa, both seasoned campaigners with illustrious careers in Nigeria and beyond, are expected to form a formidable trio with the new signing.
The move has been met with excitement from Enyimba fans, who are optimistic about the team’s chances of achieving silverware this season.
For Ideye, the move to Enyimba represents a homecoming of sorts and a chance to showcase his enduring quality in one of Africa’s most competitive leagues.
With Ideye’s arrival, Enyimba has signaled its intent to challenge for the NPFL title and assert its dominance as Nigeria’s premier football club.
