Nigeria star announces departure from Galatasaray

Super Falcons of Nigeria defender Tosin Demehin has announced her departure from Turkish Super Lig giants Galatasaray, Soccernet.ng reports.

​While Demehin remained a regular fixture for the Cimbom, the team was unable to replicate the highs of their 2023/24 title-winning campaign.

​The former Rivers Angels star has now called time on her spell in Turkey. Taking to Instagram, she shared her gratitude to the club:

​“Thank you Galatasaray for an incredible chapter. It has been an honour to wear this badge and represent this great club. I leave with great respect, gratitude, pride and unforgettable memories. Wishing the club continued success.”

​What Next for the Nigerian Star?

​Following the announcement of her exit, Demehin is yet to reveal her next destination.

​She recently featured at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, where the Super Falcons were eliminated in the quarter-finals and missed out on qualification for the Women's World Cup playoffs. In that competition, she got a red card in Nigeria's second game against Zambia, but the Super Falcons survived and went on to win 1-0.

​Despite that setback, Demehin's defensive quality should attract strong interest. Known for her grit, aerial dominance, and pace, the centre-back remains a solid asset for top sides. With European leagues set to kick off in the coming weeks, the Nigerian international is expected to secure a new club shortly.
