One of the top women’s football clubs in Nigeria, Bayelsa Queens, has bid a fond farewell to their talented midfielder, Salisu Anuoluwapo Grace, as she embarks on an exciting new chapter in her career.
The upcoming Super Falcons player has signed with Biik Kazygurt Fc, a prominent club based in Shymkent, Kazakhstan, marking a significant milestone in her journey as a professional footballer.
Salisu Anuoluwapo Grace is no stranger to the limelight, having earned a reputation as a rising star both on the domestic and international football scenes.
The talented player’s departure from Bayelsa Queens is met with mixed emotions as the club takes pride in nurturing her talents but also feels the void her departure will leave.
The midfielder’s exploits on the pitch have been nothing short of impressive. As a member of the Nigeria U17 Flamingoes, she showcased her prowess and made her mark on the pitch.
One memorable highlight of her career was during the NWFL 2018/2019 season when she scored a spectacular goal against Adamawa Queens.
Salisu Anuoluwapo Grace also played a crucial role in Bayelsa Queens’ success in the 2021/22 Nigeria Women’s Football League Premiership title, helping the Prosperity Girls secure a well-deserved trophy in Asaba.
She further proved her mettle when she contributed to the team’s triumph at the WAFU-B Zonal Qualifiers and the impressive third-place finish at the 2022 CAF Women’s Champions League with Bayelsa Queens.
The young footballer, who formerly captained DreamStar FC Ladies, will now embark on a new adventure with Biik Kazygurt Fc in the highly competitive Kazakhstani women’s football championship.
Her signing comes as a result of her consistent display of hard work and dedication, attracting interest from international clubs.
Grace will now join her new teammates ahead of the upcoming season, as she is set to experience her first UEFA Champions League campaign, a stage that will undoubtedly test her abilities at a higher level of competition.
Bayelsa Queens, while sad to see her go, believes that this move will provide her with an excellent opportunity to further develop as a player and excel in her career.
The club released a statement saying,
“We would like to congratulate Salisu Anuoluwapo Grace on joining Biik Kazygurt Fc! We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and hope that you achieve great success with your new team. May you continue to grow as a player and enjoy every moment on the field. Best of luck to you.”
