Brighton & Hove Albion goalkeeper Comfort Erhabor has joined Barclays Women’s Championship club Portsmouth on a loan deal for the remainder of the season.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Seagulls this afternoon.

The 19-year-old has been playing her football in the FA Women’s National League Southern Premier Division with Plymouth Argyle. Erhabor was on loan with The Pilgrims until the end of the season, however, Brighton & Hove Albion have opted to recall the player and have sent her to Portsmouth on a similar arrangement.

Erhabor is yet to make a senior appearance for parent club Brighton & Hove Albion, however, she has featured for the club regularly at Under-19 level. In addition to her loans at Plymouth Argyle and Portsmouth, the player has also spent time at SWPL 1 club Hibernian getting experience under her belt.

Commenting on the player’s latest loan move, Brighton & Hove Albion’s Under-19 head coach Dani Bowman said “I’d like to thank Plymouth, who have helped Comfort’s development, and this is another great opportunity for her to get first team experience in a senior environment.

“She will link-up with her Albion teammate Hannah Poulter and we hope she can continue her growth with Portsmouth for the remainder of the season.”

Erhabor could be involved for Portsmouth when they play host to London City Lionesses in the Barclays Women’s Championship on Sunday afternoon.
