Namibian football star, Zenatha Coleman has signed for Turkish side Fenerbahçe Women’s Football Team for the upcoming season.
The Namibian winger cum striker posted a picture of herself in her new club colours on her official Twitter account on Tuesday.
Fenerbahçe also posted a message on their account with more pictures of her with the caption ‘Welcome to our family Zenatha Goeieman Coleman’, before releasing a statement on their website to the same effect.
“Our Fenerbahçe Women’s Football Team has recruited Zenatha Goeieman Coleman, who plays in the Namibian wing forward position. Welcome to our club. We wish you good luck,” the message read.
Meanwhile, the Namibia Football Association (NFA) sent a congratulatory message saying “we wish Zenatha Coleman all good fortune in her breakthrough professional career in women’s football.”
Coleman has spent the last five years in the Spanish top tier playing for Zaragoza, Valencia and Sevilla, and making over 100 league appearances between the trio.
She had already made seven starts and six substitute appearances this season before making the switch to Turkey.
Fenerbahçe is currently second in Group A of the Turkish league behind leaders Besiktas, who have won all seven of their matches to date.
Efforts to get a comment from Coleman and her agent proved fruitless as they did not respond to questions sent to them.
