She played over 60 times for the Seagulls, has a dozen caps for England U-23s, five for the seniors and made the 2023 World Cup squad.

Manager Robert de Pauw told avfc.co.uk: “I’ve known of Katie since I was Head Coach of the KNVB WU17.

“She played as a winger against my team and caused us a lot of difficulties.

“She has pace and knows how to make use of her qualities. She wants to add to her five international caps and wants to make the next step with us.

“I believe she is a player who can be a difference-maker in games, and I very much look forward to what she will bring to Aston Villa Women.”
