Manchester City Women have signed 21-year-old Dutch international Kerstin Casparij from FC Twente on a three-year deal.

Speaking about her move, she said: “I’m overjoyed –I have no words to describe how happy I am to be a Manchester City player and I can’t wait to play for this beautiful club.

“Having players feeling at home at a club is a huge strength for a team and if you want to be competing and winning titles, you have to have that unity, so that was very important to me.

“I’m a modern right wing-back and I feel as though I’ll fit into the Manchester City style very well, which makes this move the perfect one.”

Head Coach Gareth Taylor added: “Kerstin is a very gifted young player and we’re so pleased to have been able to add her to our ranks.

“The fact that she made her senior debut at the age of 15 shows just what a talent she is and what high regard she has been held in by her previous clubs.

“She has a real infectious and positive personality too and we’re very much looking forward to integrating her into the rest of the squad and seeing her develop on the pitch.”
