Southampton FC Women sign versatile attacker Maria Edwards, following her departure from Blackburn Rovers.
She scored eight goals in 24 appearances for Rovers last season, having joined them after two years in Germany’s top flight with SGS Essen.
The former Manchester City and Manchester United youth player has been capped by England up to U-17 level and was a two-time England Boxing National Schools champion.
Edwards told southamptonfc.com: “When I first had conversations with the club, I knew it was definitely the right place to be with the ambition and vision the club has.
“The style of play that this club plays is really suited to me as well, so there were no second thoughts about joining.”
