Women’s Super League side Leicester City have announced the signing of Jamaica international Chantelle Swaby ahead of the new season.

The 25 year old joins the Foxes on a two year deal after the expiration of her contract with French side Fleury.

“I feel great to sign,” Swaby said, speaking to the club’s website.

“It’s going to be a great experience and a good challenge for me as well. Overall, I’m just excited to get going.

“I’ve been wanting to come to the WSL for years now, but I just haven’t had the chance to. I’m happy to be here and can’t wait to get started.”

The midfielder has played for NJ/NY Gotham and Glasgow Rangers and more recently she played for FC Fleury 91 in the French top flight where she made 33 appearances over two years.
