Georgia Brougham: Leicester City sign former Everton centre-back

Georgia Brougham was part of a Birmingham side that finished 11th in the WSL last season

Leicester City have signed centre-back Georgia Brougham after she was released by Everton earlier this summer.

The 25-year-old has spent the past two Women's Super League seasons on loan at Birmingham, who had offered her a deal.

Brougham spent five-and-a-half years at Everton, having initially come through Manchester City's academy.

"I'm delighted to be here. Obviously, it's a great club, I've heard very good things about it and I just can't wait to get started," she said.

Leicester won promotion to the WSL for the first time in their history in April and on Tuesday signed defender Jemma Purfield from Bristol City.
