American women’s football league side Portland Thorns have announced the arrival of Nigeria’s Super Falcons defender Nicole Payne on loan from PSG Feminine.
The Nigeria star joined the French side last summer and she has struggled to establish herself in the team.
“We are pleased to be able to add Nicole to our roster for this season, she is a young and dynamic defender, who can impact the game on both sides of the ball,” General Manager and President of Soccer Operations Karina LeBlanc said.
“In speaking with Nicole, it was discovered that the Thorns are a club she has a deep admiration for.
Her desire to represent this city and this crest is what we want from any new signing. When presented with this opportunity,
she welcomed it with open arms. We are so thrilled to have her with us”, the club said
