Standup9ja: Peter Odemwingie signs For Indonesian Club
Madura United
Peter Odemwingie has signed for Indonesian side Madura
United.
The 35-year-old has been without a club since leaving
Rotherham in January, and was unveiled in Jakarta today.
“These are exciting times for Indonesian football and I’m
happy to be a part of it,” he told BBC Sport.
“Hopefully I can roll back the years by scoring important
goals for Madura.”
He becomes the third former English Premier League star to
move to Indonesia after Michael Essien and Carlton Cole.
“I had no idea what it’s like here but I had a brief chat
with Michael Essien and he gave me positive feedback,” Odemwingie explained.
“To be regarded as a marquee signing is huge – I’ve played
in different European countries but this place is really beautiful – and the
people are very friendly.
“I’ve scored goals at all the top clubs I played and I
believe with the help of my teammates I can still do the same here.”
