Comfort Erhabor joins Crystal Palace on a permanent two-year deal

Super Falcons goalkeeper Comfort Erhabor has completed her signing for Crystal Palace from Barclays Women’s Super League 2 (WSL) club Portsmouth on a two-year permanent deal.

The 21-year-old Nigerian international joins the newly promoted English Women’s Super League (WSL) side on a free transfer after leaving Portsmouth.

Erhabor made six appearances for Portsmouth last season after coming in through Brighton’s academy. She had also had loan spells at Hibernian and Plymouth Argyle where she gained valuable senior minutes and experience.

Erhabor signed a two-year contract keeping her at the South London club until June 2028. The club announced her arrival on Thursday.
“Crystal Palace Women are delighted to announce the signing of Nigeria international goalkeeper Comfort Erhabor,” the club wrote on its website.

“It feels really good to be here. I’m very excited to get started,” Erhabor told the club’s website. “I’m aspiring to play at the highest level, so this is a really big step in my career.”

Following the club announcement, Crystal Palace manager Jo Potter said, “Comfort is a promising young goalkeeper, and we are thrilled to have her here at Palace.”

The Netherlands-born and England-raised goalkeeper made her debut for the Nigerian women’s senior team in February 2026 during a friendly against Cameroon. She was also included in the Super Falcons‘ squad for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), although she did not get any minutes.

She becomes the latest Super Falcons player to move to join a team in England after defender Rofiat Imuran secured a transfer to Aston Villa Women for the 2026/27 season.
Erhabor will now link-up with the Crystal Palace first team and continue her senior career development.
