While her time with Besiktas was relatively short, Ogbonna certainly made an impact.
Joining in 2023 as a free agent from fellow Turkish club ALG Spor, she could only feature in four games.

Her heartfelt message highlighted the “love” she felt, wishing Besiktas a wonderful season ahead.

“I just want to use this medium to appreciate this wonderful club for how they made me feel at home during my three years’ stay with them. I want to thank my teammates, technical team, board members and the fans for their support both in good and in bad times. You all always make sure that love leads. Thank you all, and I wish the club a wonderful season from now onwards. One love, Beşiktaş ❤️🦅🦅🦅”
