Goalkeeper Sophia Poor has returned to London City Lionesses after a previous loan spell from Aston Villa, on a three-year contract.
The England U-19 international was nominated for a WSL Player of the Month award for her Villa performances against Chelsea and West Ham.
Head coach Jocelyn Prêcheur told londoncitylionesses.com: “As a goalkeeper, Sophia has probably the biggest potential I have ever seen.
“I really wanted to keep developing her because she has everything to become the best English goalkeeper in a few years.
“I really believe in her and I am grateful that she trusts us.”
Poor commented: “It feels great actually [to sign]. I want to break through into the WSL 100%.
“I want to play for this club. I think it’s such a great club, I see the future of this club and I see myself as part of it. I really want to be a part of it.”
