Women’s Super League Two side, Oxford United, have signed Nigerian striker, Ini Umotong, from Portsmouth.
Umotong made her international debut in March last year, but did not feature for Nigeria after being named in their squad for the 2015 World Cup in Canada.
The 21-year-old has scored 25 goals in 20 Premier League Southern Division appearances for Portsmouth this season.
“Ini is a striker who possesses both power and pace,” Oxford manager Les Taylor told the club website.
“She has been very impressive during training with Oxford United and I am sure she will be a handful for opposition defences.”
The 21-year-old forward scored 29 times in 25 games for Portsmouth Ladies in the 2014/15 season, and has netted 25 times so far in the 2015/16 season.
Manager Les Taylor is pleased to have signed someone of Ini’s calibre. He told us:
“Ini is a striker who possesses both power and pace. She is also a proven goal scorer as seen during her time at Portsmouth ladies. We have been very fortunate to recruit such an exciting player like Ini, who has international experience representing Nigeria at the World Cup.
“She has been very impressive during training with Oxford United and I am sure she will be a handful for opposition defences.”
