London City Lionesses have bolstered their squad with the signing of Nigerian international defender Rofiat Imuran on a three year contract. The 20 year old arrives from Stade de Reims, where she impressed in the Arkema Première Ligue, appearing in 30 matches and scoring eight goals. Imuran’s defensive capabilities, coupled with her ability to contribute offensively, make her a valuable asset.
A notable figure on the international scene, Imuran represented Nigeria’s Super Falcons at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. On joining the Lionesses, she expressed enthusiasm for the new challenge, citing the team’s project and supportive environment. Imuran could debut soon, with the Lionesses scheduled to face Charlton Athletic at Hayes Lane.
Editorial
Rofiat Imuran’s move to London City Lionesses is an inspiring step forward, both for the player and Nigerian football. At just 20, Imuran has proven herself on international and club levels, embodying the kind of talent that can help elevate the profile of Nigerian players in the global arena. Her success is not just personal it reflects the increasing recognition of Nigerian women in European leagues, further underscoring the country’s growing reputation for producing high quality athletes.
For London City, Imuran brings not only defensive strength but also an exciting goal scoring edge, which is rare among defenders. Her experience in high pressure tournaments like the FIFA Women’s World Cup is invaluable, and her presence on the team will undoubtedly encourage more fans to follow the club’s journey in England. As Nigerian football continues to grow, moves like these showcase the importance of investing in our players and celebrating their achievements as they bring international acclaim back to the Super Falcons.
