She has been performing well at the club and the contract renewal with WFC Dinamo Zagreb came as a combination of both her international performance and her performance at the Elite Trials held in June end 2023.
The footballer has already reached Croatia and will be joining training with the team.

Last season was a learning one and eye opener for me while this season I am looking to do my best to take the team higher up the table and push for glory."
Marija Margareta Damjanovic, Head Coach & Sports Director, ZNK Dinamo Zagreb feels that with all the hard work she has put in at the club and her historical hattrick and many other goals Jyoti has scored for WFC Dinamo Zagreb they would definitely want to continue to support her in her journey as a footballer.
"I am very pleased to see Jyoti being called up for the National camp after her performance at Dinamo last season," Marija said. 
Sanaya the founder of Women in Sports who organized the trial says, "This is exactly what we aim to achieve in Women in Sports by having Indian sportspeople play at the highest level they can. The more Jyoti achieves the more doors she will open for other girls to play in Europe and thus improve the level of football in our country and our national team as well." (ANI)
