Crystal Palace announced the signing on Thursday, welcoming Erhabor as the latest addition to their squad. Erhabor said she was excited about the move and viewed it as an important step in her career. “It feels really good to be here.

She was subsequently included in Nigeria’s squad for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
