With a statement on their official website, Italian Serie A club AS Roma have announced the signing of Nigeria international center back Osinachi Ohale, who last defended the colours of Real Madrid Women's team in Spain.

The 28-year-old has joined the Giallorosse on undisclosed terms and becomes the club's third acquisition ahead of the 2020-2021 season.

A three-time World Cupper, Ohale turned out for Houston Dash in the United States, Vittsjo and Vaxjo in Sweden’s top division, prior to her move to Real Madrid in September 2019.

"I chose Roma because of so many things; so many amazing things about the club, about this city and this country that interested me," Ohale said.

"I felt like it would be a great thing for me, to explore and to experience new things and a new challenge."

An Africa Women Cup of Nations veteran, Ohale has also represented Nigerian clubs Rivers Angels and Delta Queens.
