Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi has cancelled a clause that stopped him from featuring for Nigeria at the 2013 African Cup of Nations in South Africa. There have been several reports that Ameobi may

no longer play for the national team following the insertion of the controversial clause in his contract at Newcastle United that led to his exclusion from Nigeria AFCON squad.



But officials have now disclosed that the striker has cancelled this clause, which means he is now fully committed to the Super Eagles.

"He said the clause has been removed and he will be ready to play for the Super Eagles anytime he is called upon,"MTNFootball.com quoted a Super Eagles official, Dayo Enebi Achor , as saying on the issue on Friday.

Enebi also quoted the vastly experienced striker as saying "I will love to play for Nigeria under Stephen Keshi because he is a good coach, above all I am very proud to be a Nigerian and will always grab the opportunity to don the green white colours of my fatherland."

An excited Keshi has already said he will talk to the player to reassess his u-turn in the national team and will invite him anytime he was needed in the national team.

"He is no doubt a good player and the national team can make do with his experience anytime we call upon him," Keshi said.

Ameobi, who opted for Nigeria after he played for England at age-grade levels, made his long-awaited Eagles debut against Venezuela in a friendly in November last year.
