Omorinsola Omowunmi Ajike Babajide (born 17 June 1998), known as Rinsola Babajide, is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Spanish Liga F club UDG Tenerife. A former England youth international up to under-21 level, she made her senior Nigeria debut in October 2023.[3]
In February 2017, Babajide completed a transfer to Watford Ladies.[6] She scored her first competitive goal for the club in a 3–2 loss to London Bees in a FA WSL Spring Series fixture.[7] Babajide finished as Watford's joint top scorer in the 2017 Spring Series, with three goals.[8]
Liverpool
Her transfer to Liverpool was announced on 25 January 2018.[9] Babajide was part of the squad that saw Liverpool relegated to the Championship in 2020.[10]
Babajide was Liverpool's second highest goal scorer in the 2018/19 WSL season with two campaign goals.
Babajide was then Liverpool's joint-second WSL goal scorer in the 2019/20 season with one single league goal. She didn't feature for Liverpool in the second half of the 2020/21 Championship season after refusing to train[11] with the first team squad and was then subsequently moved down into the age group development squad away from the first team.[12]
Due to her Nigerian parents, Babajide was also eligible to represent Nigeria.[18] She received her first call up in October 2023 and made her debut on 25 October 2023, starting in a 1–1 draw with Ethiopia during 2024 Olympic qualifying.[19]
