Ebi concluded her stint with Spain’s Levante Les Planas late last year, making just one appearance for the Spanish club.
After not playing any club matches since 2022 and with five appearances for the Super Falcons under coach Randy Waldrum, Ebi decided to return to club football.
Ebi’s decision to rejoin the NWFL goes beyond football, and her experience and leadership qualities are expected to have a significant impact on the Naija Ratels team.
As the first African footballer to play in five World Cup tournaments, she will wear jersey number 5 for the team, commencing a new chapter in her football career.
