England Women forward Toni Duggan has joined Atletico Madrid on a two-year deal.

The 27-year-old arrives from Barcelona, where she scored 29 goals in 72 games during her two years at the Nou Camp.

After signing her deal, Duggan said: "I am very happy to play at Atletico Madrid. It is a club that is very supportive of the women's team and the staff it has are very good.

"I am a creative player who has a goal and last pass. I am a winner and I come to the club to help in everything I can in all competitions.

"Last season's game at the Wanda Metropolitano made me realise how big this club is."
