Nigeria’s number one goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, has joined English Women’s Super League club Brighton and Hove Albion.

The 24-year-old has been snapped up from French Premiere Ligue club FC Paris, having spent five years with the club.

Nnadozie made 118 appearances for Paris, 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 title.

Brighton 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.”

The former Rivers Angels star has represented Nigeria at Under-17 and Under-20 level, before making her senior debut in April 2018 against France.

She has gone on to make 55 appearances for the Super Falcons of Nigeria.
