Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has completed a move to English Women's Super League (WSL) club Brighton & Hove Albion on a free transfer, marking a significant career milestone for the Nigerian international.
The highly-rated shot-stopper will officially become an Albion player on July 1 when her contract with Paris FC expires. The transfer is subject to the usual regulatory processes.
Career Highlights and Competition for Signature
Brighton successfully beat Everton in the race to secure Nnadozie's signature, adding a goalkeeper with impressive credentials to their squad. The Nigerian international spent five productive years at Paris FC, culminating in helping the capital club win the Coupe de Feminine in her final appearance.
In a memorable farewell performance, Nnadozie saved two penalties in the final victory over Paris Saint-Germain, demonstrating the shot-stopping abilities that have made her one of Africa's most respected goalkeepers.
Before her stint in France, Nnadozie previously played for Nigerian club Rivers Angels, where she developed her skills before making the move to European football.
Super Falcons' International Schedule
The transfer comes as the Super Falcons prepare for the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco, where they are aiming to secure their 10th continental title. The team recently played a friendly match against Portugal as part of their preparations.
Nnadozie's move to the WSL represents another significant step for Nigerian women's football, with more Super Falcons players continuing to secure contracts with top European clubs.
