Former Super Eagles forward, Osaze Odemwingie, has hinted at quitting football as a career.
Odemwingie stated this after scoring for his Indonesian club, Madura United, on his first game, helping them to a 2-0 win over Bali United Pusam.
According to him: ”Daddy promised his little princess a goal before he retires from football and he did it in his first game for Madura United FC.”
The former West Brom and Stoke City forward netted via the spot in the 74th minute to round up a comprehensive victory for the team he joined last month as a free agent after leaving Rotherham United.
Odemwingie has had a rough patch since suffering a serious injury two seasons ago while at English Premier League side Stoke City.
He had a loan spell at Championship side, Bristol City, but failed to regain the form that made him a feared force in the English Premier League.
He is part of the big name players plying their trade in Indonesia with former Ghana, Chelsea and Real Madrid ace, Michael Essien, also in Indonesia, where he will also star in their Premier League.
