The Nigerian international began her career with Lagos-based FC Robo in the Nigerian Women’s Premier League.
She made her breakthrough appearance at the 2018 U20 Women’s World Cup and 2018 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations which the Super Falcons won.
Since then, she’s been touted as one of the shining lights and future of the Nigeria women’s national team.
We wish Ajibade a successful spell in Spain.
