However, he represented Nigeria in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and also the Confederation Cup in Brazil in 2013. He was also a member of the Super Eagles, that won the African Cup of Nations in 2013. He has played for his country 24 times and scored 5 goals.
The West Brom coach, Alan Irvine said after the forward signed for them,
''Brown is a quality striker and I'm looking forward to working with him.''
''He's a strong strong, quick, powerful player who likes to get in behind defences, and has plenty of Champions League and international experience,'' Irvine said.
The striker said that he is a big fan of the Premier League, since he started playing in Europe. He played for the Swiss clubside - Neuchatel Xamas in 2008 and also for the Ligue 1 club - Sochaux in 2010, before he joined the Kiev club Dynamo. Read also: africanfootie.blogspot.com
''I always wanted to play in the Premier League (EPL). I've always been a massive fan from the moment I moved to Europe. It was always a dream,'' the striker told BBC Sports.
''It's what I really wanted for my career and family. I thank God for the opportunity, West Brom and my agents for making it happen,'' he said.
''I have a big enthusiasm and a big will, but undoubtedly my performance on the pitch will judge me,'' he said.
I think he hit the nail at the head, indeed the only thing that will judge his success or failure in the EPL, is only his performance.
There is no doubt that he will succeed in the EPL, if he make good use of his talent, work very hard and avoid bad influences and swollen head.
I wish him success in the EPL. Cheers.
