Nigeria striker Umotong signs one-year contract extension with Brighton

Ini Umotong has penned a one-year contract extension with Brighton, keeping her at the English Women’s Super League outfit until the summer of 2020.

The Nigeria international joined the WSL side from Oxford United in 2017 on a two-year deal with an option of a 12-month extension which expired this summer.

She deservedly earned a new deal with her superb role in the relegation escape of Hope Powell’s side last season, scoring two goals in 20 outings.
