Aston Villa have signed former Bristol City defender Meaghan Sargeant and ex-Birmingham City goalkeeper Hannah Hampton on two-year contracts.
Hampton, 20, has been called up to England squads and has played more than 60 games for Villa's local rivals.
Injury restricted ex-England youth international Sargeant, 27, to just three games for City last season.
"Hannah is up there with the best goalkeepers in the WSL," Villa manager Carla Ward told the club website.
"She is a really gifted individual who can play with both feet and is comfortable under pressure.
"Her ambition is to become England's number one and hopefully we can continue to develop her and help her achieve that.
"Meaghan is a strong leader who can play off both feet and is athletically strong," added Ward.
