Perth Glory is delighted to announce that Nigerian international defender Onyinyechi Zogg has joined the club’s A-League Women’s squad for the 2024/25 season.
The Swiss-born 27-year-old brings a wealth of European experience having represented Young Boys, FC Zurich and Servette FC Chenois in Switzerland, ASJ Soyaux in France and German side Turbine Potsdam, as well as FC Bethlehem in Israel.
During her time with FC Zurich, she tasted Champions League action and in June 2021, made her senior international debut for Nigeria.
The composed centre-back is now looking forward to opening a new chapter in her career with Glory.
“Once my manager told me about the possibility of going to Perth Glory, I jumped at the opportunity,” she said.
“I have heard so much about the quality and level of the ALW and always wanted to experience it and now to be able to do this with Perth Glory is such a fantastic opportunity.
“I’m really looking forward to meeting my teammates and Coach in person and to being an effective contributor to the club’s success.”
Glory Head Coach Stephen Peters believes that Zogg’s quality and experience will significantly bolster the club’s backline this season.
“Onyinyechi is a really technical and athletic defender who has performed at the very highest level in Europe and we are thrilled to have secured her services,” he said.
“We certainly feel that she has the potential to make a major impression in the ALW this year.
“Her pedigree makes her a great addition to our squad and we hope that she develops into a defensive cornerstone for the club in the upcoming season and possibly beyond.”
Further squad announcements will be made shortly.
