The 35-year-old, who represented the Super Eagles at the 2010 and 2014 World Cup tournaments, has signed a one-year deal with the option of an extension.

Odemwingie had been without a club since leaving Rotherham in January.

“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.”
