West Ham United Ladies have signed goalkeeper Becky Spencer from Chelsea F.C. Women.
Spencer spent two years with Chelsea and has also played for Arsenal and Birmingham City.
She told whufc.com: “As soon as the opportunity came to join West Ham I was delighted and it was something I was really interested in.
“I feel really comfortable being here and it’s been nice to get the feel for the Club.
“I watched a few games last year, including the Women’s Cup final win over Charlton Athletic, and the side achieved great things last season. I saw the team play a different style of football, which was nice.
“I know West Ham is looking to attract new players who want to go on a new journey with the club. The vision and aspiration at West Ham is great and is something I really want to be a part of.”
General manager Karen Ray added: “Becky is a great addition and her passion, desire and determination matches the Club. The experience she brings from her impressive career to date is something that will only serve to benefit the new players coming in.
“Having international and Champions League experience and joining us from arguably one of the best women’s teams in the world is an exciting prospect. Matt has spoken highly of Becky and I am confident working with him will only propel her onto achieving her career ambitions.
“The professional and assiduous environment that Matt is creating is a big attraction for players and we are building a team that really honours our joint core values.”
West Ham will take part in the Women’s Super League from next season.
