Banyana Banyana star joins Mexican club

Banyana Banyana forward Jermaine Seoposenwe has completed her move to Mexican side FC Juarez Feminil in the Liga MX.

This comes after she parted ways with Portuguese outfit SC Braga before the start of the 2022 TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.

Jermaine Seoposenwe – Banyana Banyana

FC Juazez Feminil made the announcement of her arrival on Tuesday night (23 August 2022) on their social media pages.

The 28-year-old Seoposenwe has also been on the books of Real Betis in Spain.

The move to Mexico comes at the back of a successful campaign in the WAFCON where Banyana Banyana won gold, with Seoposenwe instrumental throughout the tournament – scoring two goals in the process, against Nigeria and Tunisia.

The Cape Town-born player is seen an answer to the blunt attack of her new club where they have scored seven goals in 18 matches and lie bottom of the 18-team league table.

She could be in the starting line-up as early as Friday (26 August) when they host second-placed Chivas.
