Nigerian international and Super Falcons forward Rinsola Babajide has officially parted ways with Spanish Liga F club UD Tenerife after a productive two-year spell, BenriNews can confirm.
The 26-year-old striker joined UD Tenerife in 2023 following her departure from another Spanish outfit, Real Betis. During her time with the club, Babajide established herself as a key player, contributing significantly to the team's attacking prowess.
Babajide's impressive statistics at UD Tenerife include 13 goals and 12 assists across all competitions during her two seasons at the club. Her consistent performances in Spain's top women's football division did not go unnoticed by national team selectors.
The former Liverpool player earned her call-up to the Super Falcons during her stint at UD Tenerife and has already represented Nigeria's senior women's national team five times. Her international career continues to develop as she becomes an increasingly important figure for the nine-time African champions.
Babajide's departure follows that of her international teammate Monday Gift, who recently left UD Tenerife to join American club Washington Spirit. This marks a significant transition period for the Spanish club as they lose two Nigerian internationals in quick succession.
While Babajide's next destination remains undisclosed at this time, her proven track record in one of Europe's competitive leagues positions her well for the next chapter in her professional career.
The forward's departure from UD Tenerife marks the end of a successful chapter in her career as she looks ahead to new challenges, potentially following her compatriot to another top league.
