Ordega joins Sydney FC

Australian W-League side Sydney FC have announced the signing on Nigerian international Francisca Ordega.
The 23-year-old Super Falcons striker will team up with the Westfield W-League side for the remainder of the 2016/17 season from Washington Spirit.
Ordega will become the first African to feature in the Australian league as she teams up with the Sky Blues.
She has been capped 26 times for Nigeria and was part of the Africa Women Nations Cup team that defeated Cameroun 1-0 to lift the trophy early this month.
The striker spent the last two seasons playing for the Washington Spirit in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) in the United States of America.
“I’m really pleased to be signing with a club of Sydney FC’s stature,” she said.
“I’ve heard great things about Sydney FC and the Westfield W-League and I’m really excited to be in Australia for the first time.
“I’ve played against the Matildas and I know the quality of players Australia produce. I know it’s going to be a challenge playing in the Westfield W-League but it’s one I’m looking forward to.”
