Portsmouth sign Nigerian goalkeeper Erhabor | OneFootball

Portsmouth have completed the signing of Nigerian goalkeeper Comfort Erhabor on a free transfer.

Pompey announced the news via a post on their official club website this evening.

The 20-year-old returns to Portsmouth off the back of a successful loan spell with the club in the second half of last season. The player has signed a one-year contract with Pompey after leaving former club Brighton & Hove Albion earlier this summer. Portsmouth have the option to extend the deal by a further year.

Erhabor didn’t get the opportunity to represent former club Brighton & Hove Albion at senior level but she has got some vital experience whilst out on loan at Hibernian, Plymouth Argyle and Portsmouth in the last couple of seasons.

On the international stage, Erhabor has been in and around the Nigerian Under-17 squad in the past while the next step for the player could be to push for Under-20 honours. The keeper is being tipped to become a future Nigerian number one.

After adding Erhabor to his squad, Portsmouth boss Jay Sadler said “We’re really pleased to welcome Comfort back to the club on a permanent deal.

“She’s a goalkeeper with real character and she showed glimpses of her potential during her short loan spell with us last season.

“Comfort has all the tools to grow into a top goalkeeper and her presence will bring healthy competition to our goalkeeping department.”

Erhabor is Portsmouth’s sixth summer transfer window signing.
