Henan Huishang and Nigeria veteran Ebi reveals secret behind career longevity

Onome Ebi has attributed her consistent form and fitness, even at 36 years of age for Nigeria and Chinese Women's Super League side Henan Huishang to hard work.

The Super Falcons defender, who will turn 37 on May 8, was sidelined for a year after suffering an arm injury in the 2016 Africa Women's Cup of Nations final in Cameroon.

Two years later, she bounced back to lead the country to a continental triumph at the 2018 edition in Ghana - scooping her fourth African title in six appearances at the tournament.
