Super Falcons defender Tosin Demehin has officially signed a one year contract extension with Turkish giants Galatasaray, extending her stay with the club after an impressive debut season. The announcement comes as a significant boost for both the player and the club, following a successful year on both the club and international fronts.
Demehin, who joined Galatasaray last season, quickly established herself as a cornerstone of the team's defense. Her solid performances were a key factor in the team's historic UEFA Women's Champions League campaign, where she featured prominently. The 23-year-old featured in 26 matches across all competitions, scoring once and proving to be a reliable and composed presence at the back.
Her exceptional form for Galatasaray was matched by her success on the international stage. Demehin was a vital member of the Super Falcons squad that recently triumphed at the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), where Nigeria won their tenth title. Her defensive resilience and leadership were crucial in the team's journey to continental glory, a feat that has earned her national recognition, including a chieftaincy title and a significant reward from her home state governor.
Galatasaray's decision to extend her contract is a clear testament to the club's trust in her talent and their ambition to continue building a squad capable of competing at the highest levels. With the momentum of a successful season in Turkey and an international title with Nigeria, Tosin Demehin is poised for an even brighter future in the iconic red and yellow colors of Galatasaray.
