Amy Turner completes move

We are delighted to announce the signing of Amy Turner.

The defender has signed a contract with the Club until 2024 with the option to extend for a further year. 

Amy joins after a year in the United States with Orlando Pride, where she made 19 appearances.

Prior to making the switch to the NWSL, she spent three seasons at Manchester United, where she featured 67 times and helped them to achieve promotion to the WSL in their inaugural campaign.

A player with a decade of top-flight experience under her belt, Amy began her career in the youth academies at Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United before making her FA Women’s Premier League debut at just 16 years of age for Doncaster Rovers Belles.

In 2009, she left England to attend Hofstra University and made 41 appearances at centre-back for the college’s NCAA team, scoring four goals.

Spells at Leeds United and Sheffield United followed before she signed for Notts County in the WSL.

Amy hit the ground running on her return to the top level and her form was rewarded with a nomination for the PFA Women’s Young Player of the Year award in 2015.

Having represented England at Under-23 level, Amy made her senior debut from the bench against Australia in March, 2015, and has gone on to collect four caps in total.

Head Coach Rehanne Skinner added: "We are delighted to welcome Amy to the Club. She adds further strength and depth to our backline and brings a wealth of experience from years spent both here and in the NWSL. Amy is a leader on and off the pitch and will be an asset to us."
