Wales defender Lily Woodham started all six of their Women's Nations League games in 2023
Reading captain Lily Woodham has joined National Women's Soccer League side Seattle Reign in the United States.
Woodham, 23, becomes the second Wales international to move to Seattle before the close of the transfer window, after Angharad James signed from Tottenham.
The Welsh pair will link-up with Wales' most-capped player, Jess Fishlock, who has played for Seattle since 2013.
Defender Woodham previously played for Bristol City and had a loan spell at Charlton Athletic.
Woodham, a regular starter for Wales, has established herself as an important player at Reading - who are currently ninth in the Championship - since joining the Royals in 2018.
"I'm thrilled and grateful to be joining Seattle Reign FC," said Woodham.
"This club has a history filled with success and I'm eager to contribute to the team as much as possible."
