Netherlands midfielder arrives on free from OL Lyonnes
FA formally approve WSL expansion to 14 clubs
London City Lionesses have made a statement of intent after promotion to the Women’s Super League by completing the signing of Netherlands midfielder Daniëlle van de Donk.
The independently run club, who will play in the WSL for the first time next season after winning the Women’s Championship title in May, have acquired the 33-year-old on a free transfer from record eight-time European champions Lyon, recently renamed as OL Lyonnes, after the conclusion of her contract. OL Lyonnes are, like London City Lionesses, owned by the American businesswoman Michele Kang.
