Midfielder completes LCFC Women transfer
The 32-year-old arrives from Birmingham City
She joins as a seasoned Australian international
The 32-year-old joins us on a permanent basis from Birmingham City and signs a two-year contract at King Power Stadium, while we also hold an additional one-year option.
Speaking to Foxes Hub, Emily said: “I am really excited to be here and can't wait to get started. I'll bring my experience to the Club and hopefully help the team win games.
"I want to show my mentality and show what it takes to win games in this league. I've been involved in the game for a number of years now and I'm excited to see what we can do together."
Emily arrives in Leicestershire as the second-highest appearance maker in Australian history having earned 163 caps for the Matildas since making her debut against North Korea in 2010.
The New South Wales native brings a wealth of experience accumulated over a 17-year professional career that has seen her represent clubs across Europe and the United States.
She began her career at hometown side Newcastle Jets in 2008 before moving to Canberra United, and in 2011 made her first switch to Europe with Danish side Fortuna Hjørring.
Emily’s career has since spanned some of the world’s most competitive leagues, with spells at Western New York Flash, Seattle Reign, and Chicago Red Stars, alongside stints in Germany with FFC Frankfurt and VfL Wolfsburg.
Her first experience of English football came during the 2020/21 season with a move to West Ham United, where she opened her goal-scoring account against Manchester United in October 2020.
Emily makes the move across the Midlands having most recently spent time with Birmingham City in WSL 2 and will now link up with her new team-mates at Belvoir Drive.
