Ipswich Town Women have signed winger Lucy Ashworth-Clifford on a permanent contract following her departure from Serie A side Lazio.

She previously helped Celtic win the Scottish Women’s Premier League and the Scottish Cup, and also played in the Champions League.

Ashworth-Clifford told itfc.co.uk: “I would describe myself as a forward-thinking, direct winger who has a good eye for goal.

“I’ve played in the second tier before for Lewes and I know it’s improved a lot since I was last involved in it.  It’s a really exciting league to play in and I’m looking forward to getting started with the rest of the group now.”

Technical Director, Sean Burt, said: “We’re delighted that Lucy has chosen to sign for the club.

“She’s been a standout attacking threat for a number of years, starting out in the Championship and then going on to make a real impact with Celtic in the SWPL. 

“Her quality was further recognised with her move to Lazio, and we had to fight off some serious competition to bring her here.”
