Brighton & Hove Albion head coach, Dario Vidosic, has expressed his delight over the arrival of Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie at the club.
The 24-year-old joined the English Women’s Super League side in July, but her debut with the team was postponed due to her participation with Nigeria at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Warm welcome from teammates
Nnadozie finally met her Brighton teammates for the first time on Thursday, receiving a rousing reception from the squad and coaching staff.
“Firstly it’s important to say welcome and secondly, congratulations on a fantastic achievement to become champions of Africa, hopefully with us we can also win some silverware,” Vidosic told the club’s official website.
The shot-stopper played a key role in helping Nigeria clinch a record-extending 10th WAFCON title in Morocco and was named Best Goalkeeper of the tournament.
“Also, congratulations on the nomination for the goalkeeper of the year, hopefully that’s another award that will come your way. Everyone’s excited for you to be here. We’ve introduced two other girls today so now we’ve got three new ones to join us.
“I’m sure everyone is really excited, we wish you all the best and we look forward to you putting on the Brighton gear.”
