Super Falcons of Nigeria goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has completed a switch to Brighton and Hove Albion in England.
The African Goalkeeper of the Year was announced as a new signing for the Women’s Super League club today, days after she left Paris FC.
“We are delighted to announce the signing of Nigerian goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, subject to the usual regulatory processes,” Brighton, who finished fifth in the 12-team English women’s top flight last season, stated.
“Chiamaka will join Albion on July 1 when her contract with Paris FC expires.
Women’s first team head coach Dario Vidosic said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Chiamaka to the club. She’s a talented and commanding goalkeeper who will bring consistency and confidence to our defensive line.
“She has competed at the highest level, with valuable experience in a variety of cup competitions including the Champions League. We’re confident she’ll add both depth and drive to a squad already full of ambition as we continue to build for next season.”
Nnadozie, 24, joined Paris FC from Rivers Angels in January 2020 and made 118 appearances for the French club, including a standout performance in the 2025 Coupe de France Féminine final, where she saved two penalties against Paris Saint-Germain to help secure the trophy.
Between 2022 and 2025, she featured 16 times in the UEFA Women’s Champions League for Paris FC.
In 2024, Nnadozie was named UNFP Division 1 Féminine Goalkeeper of the Season, becoming the first African player to receive the award, while she also won the D1 Arkema Best Goalkeeper of the Season as well as the UNFP Goalkeeper of the season.
During her four seasons at Rivers Angels, Nnadozie was part of the squad that won the Nigeria Women’s Premier League title in 2019. She also helped the club lift the Nigeria Women’s Federation Cup three times. Her performances earned her individual recognition as the IFFHS Africa’s Best Woman Goalkeeper in 2019.
At international level, she has represented Nigeria at Under-17 and Under-20 levels, before making her senior debut in April 2018 against France.
Nnadozie has made 55 appearances for the Super Falcons and will be in action at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco in July.
