Newcastle United Women have signed Icelandic international midfielder Hildur Antonsdóttir after her contract with Liga F side Madrid CFF expired.
She played 57 matches over two seasons with Madrid and was previously at Fortuna Sittard, Valur, and Breiðablik, winning two league titles, three Icelandic Cups, and two Icelandic League Cups with the latter.
Hildur has earned 36 international caps and played for her country at the UEFA Women’s Euros in 2025.
Hildur told newcastleunited.com: “I’m really happy to be here. Newcastle is obviously a big club, and I’m really honoured and proud to be able to represent this badge.
“The club has big goals and that is something I want to play for. I will give everything every game and every training session.”
Manager Tanya Oxtoby added: “We are delighted to be welcoming Hildur to the club. She has all of the attributes that we have been looking to add to our midfield; she is tactically intelligent and has an outstanding ability in possession.
“Hildur adds further international pedigree to our team and has also shown her quality in some of Europe’s top leagues. We are looking forward to working with her.”
