She said:
I want to develop my game and the opportunity at Chelsea gives me the chance to live my passion and play and train with top players every day.
I am confident that together, the team and I will achieve our goals and I am excited to be joining the FA WSL for a new start in my young career.
The set up at Chelsea Ladies, the club, team and the staff are the ideal fit for me and have the same high standards I expect. I am looking forward to getting started.
