Ghana midfielder Jennifer Cudjoe has officially joined FC Nordsjælland’s Gjensidige Women’s League team in Denmark, sealing a one-year contract.
Cudjoe, at 29 years old, arrives with an impressive resume, having last showcased her skills in the esteemed American National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) while representing NJ/NY Gotham FC.
“Jennifer will join the team as one of the oldest, which is why, with her previous experiences, she will bring a lot of experience with her to our young Women’s League team,” the club’s sports director Jessica Davis said.
Cudjoe is renowned for her prowess as a strong defensive midfielder who is comfortable with the ball. FC Nordsjælland hope she will evolve into a central leader within the team’s midfield, bringing her expertise to the field.
Beyond her playing abilities, Cudjoe’s values off the pitch have also garnered praise. She has been a driving force in advocating for female soccer players in Ghana and across Africa, striving to enhance opportunities for women athletes.
“Off the field, Jennifer has a lot of energy in promoting and fighting for female soccer players in Ghana. She fights for better opportunities for women players in Africa and the rest of the world,” Davis noted, underlining Cudjoe’s positive influence and inspiration for younger African players.
