French Women’s football top division side Dijon have completed the signing of Nigerian international striker Desire Oparanozie on a two-year contract from top-flight rivals Guingamp.

“I am happy to start a new adventure after six years in Guingamp,” Oparanozie said on the club’s official website. “I am delighted to be able to discover something else.”

“I really like this club and the coach’s speech, which has followed with me for a long time, convinced me. I am very honoured to sign for DFCO.”

Oparanozie, 26, was born in Owerri, Imo State, South Eastern Nigeria. She started at Bayelsa and Delta Queens in Nigeria and winning two titles with the Warri based outfit before she moved abroad to sign for Turkish side Luleburgaz 39 Spor in 2011.

She later starred for German giants Wolfsburg before making a return to Turkish side Atasehir Belediyespor where she left for Guingamp in 2014.

The four-time African Women’s Cup of Nations winner also represented Nigeria at the maiden U17 Women’s World Cup at New Zealand 2008, and part of 2012 U20 Women’s World Cup in Japan.
