…Brown Ideye scored 5 goals in 13 games
Nigerian forward Brown Ideye has penned an emotional farewell to Enyimba and its fans, bringing his season-long stint with the club to an end.
The former Super Eagles striker joined the People’s Elephants in December 2024, aiming to bolster their push for a spot in the CAF Confederation Cup group stage and a strong title run in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
Despite his best efforts, Ideye’s presence couldn’t guide Enyimba to either objective, as the club fell short of reaching the Confederation Cup group stage and missed out on the NPFL title.
Nevertheless, the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winner impacted the team, management, and fans with his leadership, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to the club’s cause.
