Chukwunonye said at the time, “I am excited to join the Washington Spirit family; it’s a thing of joy and a dream come true for me, I love playing with great players like Crystal Dunn, who I faced in the U20 World Cup in 2012. I am excited to work with coach Parsons because I know he will bring out the best in me.” Chukwunonye was the second Nigerian international in the squad, joining Francisca Ordega. After playing two games for the team, she was released in December 2015.

In March 2016, both Chukwynonye and fellow Nigerian international Ngozi Okobi were signed by Swedish side Vittsjö GIK.

Chukwynonye said “I am excited to join the Vittsjo family; it’s a thing of joy and a dream come true for me, I am eager to prove myself and give my very best to propel the club to glory”.
