AFC Toronto Sporting Director Billy Wilson has shared the club’s rationale for signing Nigerian international Esther Okoronkwo, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The club officially announced Okoronkwo’s arrival on Tuesday afternoon.

“We are thrilled to welcome Esther to Toronto. She is a player we have been monitoring for some time, and we firmly believe she has the qualities to make a real impact,” Wilson stated.

“While she is most effective as a center forward, her technical ability and physical attributes enable her to excel in multiple positions, something she has demonstrated at the highest level.

“She is a fantastic addition to our squad, and I am confident our fans will enjoy watching her represent the city in this exciting new chapter.”

Okoronkwo began her professional career with AS Saint-Étienne in France before moving to Spain’s Liga F with UDG Tenerife. She was also part of Nigeria’s squad for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
