Ex-Super Eagles star Ideye joins Enyimba
Former Super Eagles striker Brown Ideye has joined nine-time Nigerian champions, Enyimba, until the end of the 2024/25 season.
Enyimba Sporting Director and ex-international, Ifeanyi Ekwueme, confirmed the transfer.
“Yes, the talks have been going on for a while and we completed it yesterday,” Ekwueme told PUNCH Online.
“He will be with us until the end of the season and we believe he will bolster our team’s attack as we compete in the league and the continent.”
Ideye has been without a club since leaving Kuwaiti side Al Yarmouk in 2022 but he is now set to stage a return to Nigeria’s top flight, taking after former international teammates Ahmed Musa and Abdullahi Shehu who are currently playing for Kano Pillars.
The move will also mark the return of Ideye to the domestic scene 17 years after he left Ocean Boys in 2006.
Ideye close to joining former league champions Rivers United in October but the move collapsed.
The 36-year-old was a member of the Super Eagles squad that won the 2013 AFCON in South Africa.
He was also part of the Eagles squad to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
Ideye featured at the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada.
