Ademiluyi signed her first professional deal with West Ham when she turned 18 in July 2024.
West Ham United can confirm Princess Ademiluyi has joined National Women’s Soccer League side Gotham for an undisclosed fee.
Everyone at the Club would like to thank Princess for her contributions during her seven years here and wishes her every success moving forwards ⚒️
