The 19-year-old came through the ranks at Aston Villa and made her senior debut for Coventry United Women in 2018.

She made 12 appearances for the West Midlands side in all competitions in 2019/20, scoring five goals, and has featured 10 times this campaign, finding the net once. 

Speaking to LCFC.com, she said: "I’ve met the girls and they were all really nice, really friendly and I had a nice welcome. There’s a lot of players my age, so it was nice to meet everybody.

"There’s a winning mentality here which is something I think I have as well, so I should fit straight in and hopefully we can keep this run going."

O’Brien will now link up with LCFC Women, who are currently top of the FA Women’s Championship, ahead of their home encounter against Crystal Palace Women on Sunday (2pm GMT kick-off).
