She moved on from the Russian Women’s Super League where she played for Zenit Saint Petersburg.

Before moving to Russia, Ezenagu featured for Rivers Angels and Bayelsa Queens in the CAF Women’s Champions League.

With Rivers Angels, she won the 2020/21 Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership title.

She was also a youth international and a very talented player playing at the 2016 Fifa Women’s Under 17 World Cup.

Her move to the Chinese WSL added to Nigeria’s latest contingent in China.

Chinonyerem particularly played in the same league with Ezenagu in Russia before moving to Saudi Arabia and now China.
