Mary Aderemi has completed a move to Belarusian side Dnepr Mogilev, continuing the growing trend of Nigerian players making switches to Eastern Europe.
The 18-year-old midfielder leaves Bayelsa Queens after an impressive spell in the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) and now begins a new chapter in her young career abroad.

The move comes shortly after Belarusian Women’s Premier League side Dynamo Brest confirmed the signing of Super Falcons forward Blessing Nkor, highlighting the steady rise of Nigerian talent in the region.
Mary Aderemi’s transfer was officially announced by Dnepr Mogilev on their social media platforms after completing her switch from Bayelsa Queens.
Before leaving Nigeria, she featured prominently for the NWFL side and also represented the Nigerian Falconets at youth level.
“We are incredibly proud to celebrate your historic move to Dnepr Mogilev FC in Europe! You carried the Prosperity Girls spirit with excellence, and now you take it to a bigger stage.
This is well deserved — go shine, represent, and make us proud! Once a Prosperity Girl, always a Prosperity Girl,” Bayelsa Queens wrote as she takes a major step into European football.
Mary Aderemi now joins the Belarusian Vysshaya Liga Women, where she will look to establish herself in a more competitive environment.

Dnepr Mogilev also confirmed her arrival with a warm message to the player.
“We welcome Mary to the Dnieper Football Club and wish her success in the matches for our team,”
Beyond her new challenge, Aderemi will also benefit from familiar faces at the club.
She is set to link up with former Rivers Angels winger Blessing Kasarachi Okpe, who recently joined Dnepr Mogilev after a productive spell with Dinamo Minsk.
Okpe is expected to play a key role in helping Aderemi settle quickly both on and off the pitch.
The presence of fellow Nigerian players is seen as an added advantage as she adapts to life in Belarus.
