Black Queens captain Elizabeth Addo has joined Swedish side Djurgarden ahead of the start of the new season from North Carolina Courage.
The 27-year old makes a return to Sweden for the first time in four years since leaving Kvarnsveden In the 2016-2017 season.
“Damallsvenskan is one of the best leagues in the world and I have learned a lot about Swedish football during my time here. It's a tough league and you have to perform at a high level in the matches”, Elizabeth Addo said after completing her move to the Swedish side.
Addo is a well travelled player and says she has gained more experience playing for different club across the continent.
“The experience I have gained means a lot to me. I have played in many different teams around the world and learned a lot as a football player. But also as a human being by getting to know many different cultures, so it has been very educational for me”.
DjurgÃ¥rden Sports Director Jean Balawo on signing the Ghana International said, “This will be the last piece of the puzzle for us.
“We knew quite early on that we would need an extra option in midfield. Now we supplement with Elizabeth Addo who will contribute with extremely much leadership, ball skills and drive. A player who is good both backwards and forwards, in some clubs she has been used as a forward but in DjurgÃ¥rden she will mainly be used in all three central positions in midfield, ie as 6th, 8th or 10th. . The last time she was in Sweden, she was one of the players who produced the most assists and I hope she can continue with that in DjurgÃ¥rden as well”.
Elizabeth Addo is expected to arrive in Stockholm next week to begin preparations with the team.
She has had stints in countries such as Nigeria, Serbia, Hungary, Australia, China, Cyprus and most recently in the North Carolina Courage in the USA. .
