We are delighted to announce the signing of striker Aisha Masaka from BK Hacken on undisclosed terms, subject to the usual regulatory processes.

Zoe Johnson, managing director of women’s and girls’ football, said, “We’re really excited to welcome Aisha to Brighton.

“She’s competed at a high and testing level in Sweden and represented Hacken in the Champions League.

“She’s a physical striker who is dominant on the ball and a natural goalscorer. We’re looking forward to welcoming her to Albion ahead of the new season.”

The 20-year-old joined Hacken in 2022 from Young Africans in Tanzania, having previously played for Alliance FC Mwanza.

In her two seasons at Hacken, the forward helped them finish second in the Swedish League and they reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League last season before losing to PSG.

During her time in the Tanzanian Premier League, she won ‘Best Goal Scorer’ in the 2020/21 campaign after netting 35 goals in 20 matches for Young Africans.

At international level she has won 15 caps for Tanzania, scoring nine goals since making her debut in 2021.

Masaka also represented her country at the under-17 COSAFA Cup when Tanzania won the tournament and she finished top goalscorer.

She was also part of the Tanzania squad that qualified for AFCON 2024 and will head to Morocco next summer.
