West Brom striker Brown Ideye has been rewarded for his impressive Albion form with a long-awaited recall to the Nigeria squad.

Ideye has been included in the squad for friendlies against Bolivia and South Africa on March 26 and 29 respectively.

The 26-year-old lost his regular place in the Super Eagles group after figuring in both the African Cup of Nations and the Confederations Cup in 2013.

His nightmare start to life in England pushed him further down the pecking order but his recent upturn in fortunes, which has included five goals in his last eight games, has led to a recall.
