Bolton Wanderers Women is delighted to announce the signing of Adekite Fatuga-Dada ahead of Wednesday evening’s game with FC United of Manchester.
The former Watford wide player, who has a wealth of experience in higher levels of the pyramid, joins Wanderers Women after impressing immensely in her time spent as a trialist with the club in recent weeks.
Spending most of her footballing career with Watford and part of the club’s Academy system growing up, Ade went on to make her senior debut for the Hornets in 2015.
Spending eight years with the club, that included two promotions and over 110 appearances in a Watford shirt, Ade left an incredible legacy at the club before departing in 2023.
Fatuga-Dada then joined MK Dons for the 2023/24 season, before then linking up with Lewes FC last season in the National League.
Playing a part in Wanderers’ pre-season schedule ahead of officially joining the club, Ade goes straight into reckoning for Wednesday evening’s fixture with FC United at Victory Park as they look to record their first win of the season.
On officially joining the club, Adekite Fatuga-Dada said: “I’m feeling really happy and excited to be here.
“When I spoke to Myles and the direction the club wants to go in, it’s an incredibly exciting project and it’s great to be part of it.
“From the first training session on trial, I knew this was where I wanted to be. I wasn’t really thinking of going anywhere else - and once I played a game too - I knew this is exactly where I want to play. I’m looking forward to officially getting going now.”
Myles Smith, Women’s Manager, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Ade to the club.
“She arrives with bags of experience at higher levels and achieved brilliant things during her career, as well as having the qualities to further enhance what we already have in our team at the top end of the field.
“She is quick, exciting and explosive with the ball at her feet, with a desire to score goals and assists, and we can’t wait to see what she can bring to our team moving forward."
