Esther Opeyemi Ajakaye Joins Kansas City Current, Goes on Loan to Caroline Ascent FC

Kansas City Current has bolstered its attacking options with the signing of Nigerian striker Esther Opeyemi Ajakaye. The 19-year-old forward, who previously played for FC Robo and Madrid CFF, joins the growing list of African talent at the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) club. She becomes the fourth African player on the roster, alongside Temwa Chawinga (Malawi), Hildah Magaia (South Africa), and Adam Jereko (Kenya).  

Known for her speed and goal-scoring prowess, Ajakaye has been a standout performer at both the club and international levels. At Madrid CFF, she honed her skills in one of Europe’s top leagues, earning recognition as one of Africa's emerging football talents. Her addition to Kansas City Current signals the club’s commitment to assembling a diverse and competitive squad.  

As part of her development, Ajakaye will spend the upcoming season on loan with Caroline Ascent FC in the USL Super League. The move allows the young striker to gain valuable playing time and adapt to the American soccer landscape while contributing to the newly launched league.  

Kansas City Current, a team that values international talent, continues to invest in players who bring dynamic skills and cultural diversity to the roster. With Ajakaye and her African teammates, the club is poised for an exciting season ahead.  

This signing also highlights the growing influence of African players in women’s football worldwide, as athletes from the continent increasingly make their mark in top leagues. For Ajakaye, the move represents another significant step in her promising career, and fans will be eager to see her shine in the USL Super League and beyond.
