Nigerian midfielder Christy Ucheibe has completed a move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal, signing a contract that will keep her at the club until 2028, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Ucheibe leaves Portuguese giants Benfica after six seasons with the club, bringing an end to a successful spell in Europe.

The Nigeria international will now continue her career in Saudi Arabia, where she will link up with compatriot and Super Falcons teammate Asisat Oshoala.

Ucheibe’s move to Al-Hilal further strengthens the growing presence of Nigerian women’s footballers in the Saudi Women’s Premier League.
