LCFC Women is pleased to confirm the permanent signing of Northern Ireland international defender Demi Vance, subject to league approval.
- Experienced defender joins LCFC Women
- The left-back signs for the Foxes from Glasgow Rangers
- Northern Ireland international made three appearances at Euro 2022
The 31-year-old - who boasts 78 caps for her country - joins the Foxes following the expiration of her contract with Glasgow Rangers.
Most recently, she made three appearances for Northern Ireland at the UEFA Women’s European Championship, playing 90 minutes in each fixture.
She told LCFC TV: “It all happened really fast, so I don’t think I’ve had a minute to think but here we are! I’m happy to be here and buzzing to get started.
“Leicester have made massive strides over the last couple of years. I’m sitting here in the facilities, which are fantastic. It’s an ambitious club and I want to bring my experience to help the squad."
She started her career with Northern Irish Premiership outfit Glentoran Belfast, spending six years with the Glens before making the move to Australia in 2014, joining Northern Redbacks – now known as Perth RedStar Football Club.
A return to Glentoran followed in 2017 prior to a switch to Scottish Premiership side Glasgow Rangers in 2020.
An experienced defensive-minded player, Vance adds valuable quality to the Foxes and joins the Club ahead of Sunday’s Barclays Women’s Super League opener against Tottenham Hotspur at King Power Stadium (3pm BST kick-off).
