She was the team's top scorer in both seasons she spent in Jena. Following the World Cup she signed for defending champions Turbine Potsdam. Prior to the World Cup, Añonma and two other Equatoguinean players had been accused of being male by opponents. Añonma rejected the allegations and was shown by a gender test to be female.
