England international forward Nikita Parris joins London City Lionesses from Brighton & Hove Albion on a two-year deal.
She has over 70 England caps and is among the WSL’s all-time leading scorers, netting seven times in 22 league appearances for Brighton last season.
A Champions League and Women’s EURO winner, Parris has also played for the likes of Everton, Manchester City, Lyonnes, Arsenal and Manchester United.
Parris told londoncitylionesses.com: “I’m excited. It’s a very ambitious project and I’m really looking forward to meeting all the girls and getting started. The project here aligns with the challenges I want to meet and the goals I want to achieve. I’m going to give my all to make sure the team progresses.”
Director of Football Ronald Thompson added: “I’ve known Nikita for many years through the England pathway. She brings top-level experience and a winning mentality, and she’ll be a brilliant role model for the younger players in our group.”
“This is an important moment for us as we continue shaping a team with the talent, mindset, and identity to thrive in the WSL. Nikita’s arrival is a statement of intent, and we can’t wait to see her in action in a London City shirt.”
