The 21-year-old joins the Eagles from Portsmouth, whom she signed for in July 2025. She made six appearances for the club across all competitions before securing her move to Crystal Palace.
Erhabor began her football career at the Brighton & Hove Albion Academy before gaining further experience during loan spells with Hibernian and Plymouth Argyle.
Born in the Netherlands and raised in England, Erhabor chose to represent Nigeria at international level and made her Super Falcons debut in February 2026 during a friendly against Cameroon.
She was subsequently included in Nigeria’s squad for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, WAFCON, but did not feature during the tournament as the Super Falcons were eliminated by eventual champions Cameroon in the quarter-finals.
Her move to Crystal Palace makes Erhabor the latest Super Falcons player to join an English club.
She follows defender Rofiat Imuran, who completed a move to Aston Villa Women for the 2026/27 season. The 22-year-old defender joined Villa from London City Lionesses after beginning her professional career with Stade de Reims in France.
Erhabor will now look to establish herself at Crystal Palace and continue her development while competing at one of the highest levels of women’s football in England.
