Israeli professional women’s football club Bnot Netanya FC has officially announced the signing of Nigerian international striker Mercy M. Omokwo from Bayelsa Queens FC, marking a significant step in the player’s career and boosting the club’s attacking options ahead of the new season.

 

The announcement was made via the club’s official social media platforms on Monday, confirming that Omokwo has joined the team on a deal believed to strengthen their push in domestic competitions and beyond.

 

Mercy Omokwo, who has earned caps with Nigeria’s senior women’s national team, the Super Falcons, was a key figure in Bayelsa Queens’ recent campaigns, showcasing remarkable goal-scoring instincts, pace, and technical ability. She played a pivotal role in helping the Nigerian club maintain their dominance in the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL).

 

Bnot Netanya FC described Omokwo as “a dynamic forward with an eye for goal,” adding that her arrival represents the club’s ambition to compete at the highest level in Israeli women’s football.

 

“We are delighted to welcome Mercy Omokwo to our family. She brings international experience, strength, and skill to our frontline, and we believe she will make an immediate impact,” the club said in a statement.

 

The move is also a major milestone for Omokwo, as she continues her football journey abroad, joining the growing list of Nigerian female footballers making waves in Europe and the Middle East.

 

Omokwo is expected to link up with her new teammates in the coming days as Bnot Netanya ramp up pre-season training.

 

Her move underscores the increasing demand for Nigerian talents globally, particularly in women’s football, where players from Africa’s most successful women’s national team continue to attract international interest.
