AS Roma sign Super Falcons star Rinsola Babajide
Super Falcons forward Omorinsola Babajide has officially joined Italian Serie A Women’s side AS Roma.
The club announced the signing on its website, confirming that the 26-year-old has signed a two-year contract. Babajide arrives as a free agent after her deal with Spanish Liga F club UD Tenerife expired in May.
Expressing her excitement on her X (formerly Twitter) account, Babajide wrote:
“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 dynamic and versatile forward, Babajide becomes the second Nigerian player at AS Roma, joining her Super Falcons teammate Shukurat Oladipo.
She will link up with the team after the ongoing 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco, where she is currently representing Nigeria.
Babajide has been handed the No. 30 shirt at her new club.
