Spanish club Deportivo La Coruna has officially announced the signing of Nigerian international Blessing Nkor in a deal which will keep her at the club until the end of the current season.

Nkor signs for Deportivo La Coruna from Pyramids FC and her addition to the squad is expected to bolster their attacking options and provide a fresh impetus to their campaign.

Blessing Nkor’s football journey has been marked by several notable steps. She began her professional career with Nigerian Women’s Premier League side Sunshine Queens, where she played from 2021 to 2022. Her impressive performances caught the attention of scouts, leading to a move to Tanzanian club Yanga Princesses in September 2022.

Nkor’s stint in Tanzania was followed by a transfer to Turkish side Gaziantep AsyaSpor for the 2023/24 season. Her experiences in different leagues and countries have helped shape her into a versatile and adaptable player.

On the international front, Blessing Nkor has represented Nigeria at various levels. She was a key member of the country’s women’s U-20 team from 2022 to 2023, gaining valuable experience in high-pressure matches.

Nkor made her debut for the Super Falcons, Nigeria’s senior women’s national team, in a friendly match against France last November. Although the game ended in a 2-1 loss, her debut marked a significant milestone in her career.

Reacting to her signing with RC Deportivo, Blessing Nkor took to social media to express her gratitude and excitement. She posted: “A new chapter has begun, a new story is being written, a new home and family I have found. This can only be God, grateful beyond words. Bevinda, NKOR!”
