Midfielder spent seven years with Brighton & Hove Albion
The 23-year-old spent last season on loan with Birmingham City
The 23-year-old makes the permanent move to King Power Stadium, signing a one-year contract, following seven years with Brighton & Hove Albion.
Speaking to LCFC.com Libby said: "The team have been really welcoming and it's a great group. I feel like I've settled in well already and that's thanks to them.
"The stadium is lovely and I've heard the fans here are excellent. I can't wait to play in front of them."
The midfielder joins the Club having spent time out on loan with Rangers, Bristol City and Birmingham City in recent seasons.
Born in Kingston upon Thames, Libby joined Brighton as a youth player and progressed through their academy system to make her Seagulls debut against London Bees in 2019.
She would go on to make 44 appearances across all competitions for the South Coast side before linking up with Scottish outfit Rangers on loan in 2023. She made 20 appearances and scored four goals in all competitions north of the border.
The following two seasons saw Libby ply her trade in Barclays Women’s Super League 2 during loan spells with Bristol City and Birmingham City, making a total of 18 appearances across all competitions.
Libby has linked up with the squad at Belvoir Drive and bolsters our midfield options heading into the 2026/27 WSL 2 campaign.
