Sutton United Football Club is delighted to confirm the signing of Nadia Sabania from AFC Wimbledon.
The midfielder, who originally hails from Dubai, UAE, will add quality in the centre of the park after scoring seven goals in just four goals on loan at Carshalton Athletic last term.
Her career began over in the USA, joining North Alabama Lions while studying at University of North Alabama, where she majored in Political Science, and her time in America proved to be hugely successful, reaching the Du Football Championship in 2017 before winning the title the following year, while she also received the Player’s Plays Award in 2017 from the Club Ballon d’Or.
After spending a few years in Alabama, the 26-year old then made the move over the ocean in 2019, joining Loughborough Lightning to begin a four-year spell in Leicestershire, before moving to South London in 2023. A switch to AFC Wimbledon saw her debut in a 2-1 defeat to Exeter City when she replaced Leanne Bell just after the hour-mark.
Sabania went on to establish her quality in the Dons’ engine room before being struck by injury, but a brief loan spell at Carshalton saw her regain her fitness and match sharpness, notching seven goals in just four games, and notably helped the Robins rise to the top of the Surrey Premier League.
She has since opted to depart Plough Lane on a permanent basis after two years, dropping down from the third tier to buy into the project under Lucy Clark, with the U’s currently sitting fifth in the London and South East Women’s Regional Football League.
Clark’s side are back in action today away at title contenders Saltdean United, with Sabania available for selection and in line to make her competitive debut for the club.
Welcome to Sutton, Nadia!
