The Black Queens star agreed to a contract extension after a short productive initial stint with the American club.
Jennifer Cudjoe has signed a new contract with Sky Blue of the National Women’s Soccer League of the United States.
The Ghana international has been a revelation since joining Sky Blue on a short contract in June, playing a major role in their 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup semi-final for the first time since 2013.
During her opening spell, former Chattanooga star Lady Red Wolves appeared in six games and started four times for Freya Coombe’s team and agreed on terms to extend her stay for one more season.
“I am excited to continue my journey with Sky Blue,” Cudjoe told the club’s website.
“This is a dream for me and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity they gave me. I want to thank each of my teammates for welcoming me with open arms and helping me grow as a player.
“I will give my all for the Club and work harder to help achieve our goal.”
The hard-working midfielder completed 128 passes with a completion rate of 80.5% during her 368 minutes in the Challenge Cup.
And head coach Coombe, when asked about Cudjoe’s extension, said: “I am very happy that Jennifer is continuing with the team after her successful Challenge Cup debut.
“Jennifer eats, sleeps and breathes football. Her enthusiasm is contagious on the team.
“She brings a different dimension to midfield and I look forward to helping her continue to the next step of her incredible journey.”
With her extension, the Northeastern State University graduate will aim to build on her excellent outing with Sky Blue in the upcoming season.
