Super Falcons forward Omorinsola Babajide has signed a two-year deal with Italian Serie A Women's club AS Roma.
The 26-year-old player joined the Giallorosse on a free transfer after her contract with Spanish Liga F side UD Tenerife expired in May.
Babajide has agreed to a two-year contract with AS Roma, committing her to the club until 2027. The player joined AS Roma on a free transfer, having become a free agent after her contract with UD Tenerife ended.
Babajide shared her excitement about the move on her X (formerly Twitter) account, stating: “Happy to finally announce that I’ve signed for @ASRomaFemminile. I’m so excited to see what we can achieve together. Back in red and ready for this incredible new chapter. Grateful to God for guiding me through every step of this journey. My heart is full, especially having my mum beside me along the way. Thank you @beplayerbyyoufirst for making this move possible.. Can’t wait to get started & see you all.”
A versatile attacker, Babajide now becomes the second Nigerian player at Roma, joining fellow Super Falcons teammate Shukurat Oladipo.
She is expected to link up with her new teammates after the conclusion of the ongoing 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco, where she is representing Nigeria.
The former Liverpool and Real Betis winger has been assigned the No. 30 jersey at her new club.
