National captain Ahmed Musa has signed a deal until the end of the season to play for his former club in Nigeria, Kano Pillars.
He joins as an Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) elite player with the aim of boosting their image as well as helping Musa maintain his fitness as he continues his search for a European club.
Musa is keen to get in shape to play for the Super Eagles in the World Cup qualifiers that start in June.
The 28-year-old, who is a free agent since leaving Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr in October, had received offers from England, Russia and Turkey.
