The 35 year old was training with Bolton until Kenny Jackett showed intrest in the nigerian as he explained to Radio Sheffield; "I was close to signing for Bolton but the Championship is a higher league and it's a good league for me. I didn't need to think for long about the move, It's a short-term deal but if things go well then we can talk about a longer deal closer to Christmas."
"I know it's a difficult situation but I've been in these positions before and done quite well and I think they bring out the best in me. It's a huge task but you expect teams around you to have a dip in form as well and what you need to do is have a run of games where you pick up points," he added.
"November and December are always big months in English football. The objective is to not look too far ahead of ourselves and try to pick up as many points as we can."
