Nigeria defender Demehin leaves Reims after two seasons

Super Falcons defender Tosin Demehin has parted ways with French outfits D’Arkema side Stade de Reims after just two seasons at the club, The PUNCH reports.

Demehin made the disclosure on her social media, expressing her gratitude to the club and their supporters.

“After amazing years and seasons in Reims, I want to thank everyone for the opportunity to share and be part of those moments with you,” she wrote on her X handle.

“I want to thank the president, coaches, club staff, medical teams, and especially my teammates who have become family for the belief and hard work that resulted in an unforgettable championship.

“To the fans, thank you for the support through difficult and simple times. Reims is a special place, and now I understand what Remoises means. I wish everyone another successful and amazing season, Allér Rouge. Merci beaucoup pour tout @stadedereims.”

The 22-year-old joined Reims from Rivers Angels in 2022.

Meanwhile, Demehin’s tweet has generated reactions from fans, who, while wishing her success in her career, wanted to know of her next destination.

In her two-year spell with Reims, the Falcons star made 26 appearances, 11 of which were in the last season, where she scored one goal.

Demehin’s impact on European football began after captaining Nigeria to the quarterfinals of the U20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica.

Her impressive performances attracted interest from multiple European clubs, but she ultimately signed for Reims alongside her Nigeria teammate Rofiat Imuran.

Since then, Demehin has been an integral part of the Super Falcons squad, starting in all of Nigeria’s games at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and this summer’s Paris Olympics.
