Crystal Palace Women have confirmed the signing of prolific goalscorer Bethany England on a two-year deal, with the option for a one-year extension.
She joins from Spurs with a total of 87 WSL goals to her name, a tally second only to Vivianne Miedema in the competition’s history.
Nine major trophies were won by her during her time at Chelsea, while internationally she has scored 11 goals in 26 appearances for the Lionesses.
England told cpfc.co.uk: “It feels great to sign for Crystal Palace. I’m very excited to be here, and looking forward to meeting all the girls and getting started.
“Palace are an ambitious club. They’ve been in the WSL before, they’ve had two amazing promotions now, and I think you can see their investment in the Women’s game. They’re really pushing to want to be amongst the best, and they’ve got amazing facilities.
“It’s a place where I hope that I can make a lot of good memories, score a lot of goals, and make some good history for the Football Club.”
Manager Jo Potter added: “We are absolutely delighted to have Bethany here at Palace. She has scored goals wherever she has gone, and I am sure she will be crucial for us next season.”
