Arsenal have announced the signing of the Australia full-back Steph Catley from Melbourne City.
The 26-year-old, who has also played in the US for Portland Thorns, Orlando Pride and OL Reign, has made 82 appearances for her country, scoring three goals.
Catley told Arsenal’s website: “Arsenal is a place where I’ve imagined myself playing for a long time. I’m so excited that it’s finally done. This will be my first taste of European football and obviously there’s so much to look forward to and so many big occasions to come. I can’t wait to get started.”
Arsenal’s Australian manager, Joe Montemurro, said: “We’re privileged to have Steph at the club. She suits our fluidity and she’s very good in a positional sense, but more importantly she’s very effective going forwards, so we’re excited to have her as part of the squad and we’re looking forward to some exciting times together.”
