Super Falcons goalkeeper Comfort Erhabor has completed a move to English Women’s Super League side Crystal Palace, Footynaija.com reports.
The 21-year-old joins the newly-promoted club as a free agent after leaving Portsmouth at the end of last season.
Erhabor spent the 25/26 campaign with Portsmouth in the Women’s Championship after joining the club on a one-year contract. Despite receiving an offer to extend her stay, the Nigerian goalkeeper opted for a new challenge.
