Manchester City Women have signed Scotland international Jennifer Beattie.
The former Queen’s Park, Celtic and Arsenal defender will join City from French side Montpellier on January 3.
Beattie, who has won over 80 caps for Scotland, won two domestic trophies with Celtic before joining Arsenal where she claimed seven major titles, including scoring memorable hat-tricks against Chelsea and Barcelona.
“Once you’ve had that taste of success, you want it more and more,” the 23-year-old told City’s website.
“City have their targets set on winning trophies and that’s the kind of club I want to be at.
“The facilities at the club are just unbelievable and it’s a really good time to try and make you mark at the club. I’m ready for a new challenge and I’m looking forward to returning to the Women’s Super League. I’ve missed it.”
