Super Falcons star, Onyinyechi Salome Zogg says she is looking forward to opening a new chapter in her career after joining Australian, Perth Glory and will play in the Women’s A-League for the 2024/25 season.

The defender, who made her senior international debut for Nigeria in 2021 was born and raised in Bern Switzerland. She has a Swiss father and her mother is Nigerian.

‘I have heard so much about the quality and level of the ALW and always wanted to experience it and now to be able to do this with Perth Glory is such a fantastic opportunity.

‘I’m really looking forward to meeting my teammates and Coach in person and to being an effective contributor to the club’s success,’ said Zogg.

Glory Head Coach Stephen Peters told the club’s official website she believes the Nigerian’s quality and experience will significantly bolster the club’s backline this season.

‘Onyinyechi is a really technical and athletic defender who has performed at the very highest level in Europe and we are thrilled to have secured her services,’ he said.

‘We certainly feel that she has the potential to make a major impression in the ALW this year.

‘Her pedigree makes her a great addition to our squad and we hope that she develops into a defensive cornerstone for the club in the upcoming season and possibly beyond.’
