The move is the first signing of Eder Maestre's tenure at a side currently seventh in the WSL.

  • Cascarino said England was a long-held target, praised London City's independence, and set ambitions of Champions League qualification and trophies.
  • Head coach Eder Maestre lauded her quality and mentality and confirmed she is his first addition since taking charge.
  • The France international arrives with seven goals and nine assists in 34 NWSL appearances for San Diego, a trophy-laden spell at OL Lyon, and more than 80 caps for Les Bleues.
