Martins returns to English Premier League

Nigeria striker Obafemi Martins has joined Premier League side Birmingham City on a six month loan deal from Russian club Rubin Kazan. 

The striker, who last played in England for Newcastle, will stay with Birmingham until the end of the season.
 
Martins became a father for the first time in December, and his desire to be close to his young family is said to be the major reason behind the move.
