At just 19 years old, this marks her first professional contract, a significant milestone in her budding football career. The club announced the signing on their official Instagram account, welcoming Claudia into the team ahead of the 2025-26 season in the Vrouwen Eredivisie.
Before turning professional, Claudia developed her skills at Hamburg SV’s academy in 2024-2025 and previously played for Young Warrior FA from 2018 to 2024.
