Spurs Women have signed Netherlands international Caitlin Dijkstra on a long-term deal from Wolfsburg, with whom her contract is up this summer.
She won trophies with Ajax and FC Twente before joining Wolfsburg, where she made 46 appearances in all competitions, including 11 in the Champions League.
Dijkstra earned over 40 caps with the Dutch national development teams before her senior debut in 2021, since when she has appeared more than times.
Dijkstra told tottenhamhotspur.com: “It feels amazing to join Spurs, I have almost no words for it! I’m a player who wants to achieve all the big things. I’m ready for this, and I’m really happy for the opportunity I have with this club.”
Head Coach Martin Ho said: “Caitlin is a player with real pedigree, maturity and top-level experience. She has developed and competed in winning environments, played in major European competitions, and continues to be an important player for the Netherlands at international level, so she arrives with a clear understanding of what high performance football demands.
“What we really like about Caitlin is not only her defensive quality, but her composure, intelligence and ability to help a team build from the back. She is calm under pressure, reads the game well, defends with discipline and gives us another strong profile within our defensive unit.“
