Young forward Princess Ademiluyi made her West Ham United debut on Sunday 7 May 2023, one whole year ago.
The then 16-year-old came off the bench in the 83rd minute as Paul Konchesky’s team narrowly lost to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Ademiluyi has been on the the Hammers’ books since the age of 12, working her way through the pathway and then excelling at U21 level during the 2022/23 season. She was then rewarded with an opportunity to impress against the Seagulls.
A moment that Princess Ademiluyi will never forget! 👏
From our pathway, to the Academy and now into the first team, the 16-year-old made her senior debut in Claret & Blue yesterday! ⚒️ pic.twitter.com/68yHHqmL5J— West Ham United Women (@westhamwomen) May 8, 2023
In making her senior bow at Broadfield Stadium, Ademiluyi became the first player to pass through the age-groups and play minutes for the first team.
Since then, she has continued to develop, and has gone on to make 15 appearances for the Club in total.
