Ipswich Town Women have signed midfielder Aimee Palmer on a three-year contract after her departure from fellow Barclays WSL 2 side Southampton.
The former England U21 international has helped both Bristol City and Manchester United secure promotion to the WSL, where she also gained valuable top-flight experience with Leicester City.
Palmer told itfc.co.uk: “After a few calls with Sean [Burt] and David [Wright] listening about the plans here, the decision was a no-brainer for me.
“I have a lot of experience to add to the group having won this league twice in my career, and I now can’t wait to get to work with all my new teammates.”
Sean Burt, Technical Director, added: “Aimee’s a fantastic signing for the club and what she’ll be bring not only on the pitch but off it will be invaluable this season.
“Aimee was a standout player in the division last term, and along with her WSL experience, speaks volumes for our ambition for the Women’s team programme as well as what our environment can offer someone of her quality.”
