Cork City Women’s F.C. Sign Vanessa Ogbonna

VANESSA OGBONNA has become the latest player to sign for Cork City Women's FC.

A native of Tramore, County Waterford, Ogbonna had been training with Charlie Lynch's team for the past number of weeks and has now committed her future to the club. Ogbonna, who recently started a degree course in Public Health at UCC is looking forward to playing in The Continental Tyres Women's National League.

'I’m definitely excited to finally join the WNL. I'm enthusiastic to start playing with Cork City WFC and hope that we can maybe cause a couple of upsets in the league and make it an enjoyable run for all at the same time. I'd love to see Cork City finish higher up in the table, please God," said the 18 year-old.

Cork City resume their Women's National League campaign this Sunday following a two week international break with an away trip to Peamount United. Ogbonna is expected to go straight into the squad for that game and is looking forward to the challenge the league will pose.
 

"I'm anxious to be playing at this level because obviously I've never been at this before, I'll definitely miss Tramore AFC but I am grateful for all the support I have received over the years from them.

They have been a real blessing and they are supportive of me moving to the next level and would like to see me succeed, which is great to know," she added.

Cork City Women's FC's next home game takes place on September 28 in Bishopstown against Galway Women's FC and will kick off at 2pm.
