Ipswich Town have signed Rianna Dean from Southampton, for whom she scored nine goals in 18 appearances.
An England international up to U-21 level, she helped Tottenham Hotspur secure promotion up to the WSL as the joint-second highest goalscorer in the Championship.
Dean told itfc.co.uk: “I am delighted to be at such an ambitious club and I’m really excited to get started.
“I know a few of the girls here already and I’ve heard such good things from them. The club feels really integrated across all areas which is exactly what I want as a player.”
“The No. 9 shirt always comes with pressure but I think that’s a good thing. Hopefully I can live up to it and score a few goals here.”
Manager Joe Sheehan said: “Rianna is a player we have known about for a while and someone who possesses so many brilliant attributes which we look for in a striker.
“I think the experience she brings into the group will be so valuable to us and we are so excited to be working with her throughout the upcoming campaign.”
