…another Super Eagles player joins the NPFL ( THIS CAN WORK TOO)

CAF ANNOUNCES SHORTLIST FOR AFRICA’S BEST FOOTBALLER
At 36 years of age, the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner, has been without a club since departing Kuwaiti side Al Yarmouk in 2022.
His return to Nigeria’s top-flight football follows in the footsteps of former international teammates like Ahmed Musa and Abdullahi Shehu, both currently playing for Kano Pillars. Moreover, this marks a nostalgic return for Ideye to the domestic league, having left Ocean Boys back in 2006, 17 years prior.
His potential transfer to former league champions Rivers United last October was prevented, making this move to Enyimba all the more meaningful.
Enyimba is currently gearing up for two crucial matches in the coming days. They are set to face Sunshine Stars in a rescheduled Nigeria Professional Football League encounter on Wednesday, followed by an important away fixture against Black Bulls in Maputo, Mozambique, for their third group game in the CAF Confederation Cup.
