“I want to make history with this club and I am happy to be here. I am feeling at home already with the warm reception I got when I came in.
“Santa Teresa was good for me but I needed a fresh start so, I had to reject their offer,“ he said.
The defender featured for the Super Falcons in the just concluded Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
