Wales goalkeeper OIivia Clark has joined Dutch champions FC Twente.

The 22-year old, who left Bristol City at the end of the season, has signed a two-year deal with Twente, who will play Cardiff City in Champions League qualifying.

"The first impressions here at FC Twente are very good," Clark said.

"All my team-mates have welcomed me very well. It will take some getting used to playing outside England but it is a challenge that I am happy to take on.

"FC Twente are, of course, national champions and they want to play in the Champions League. Playing in the Champions League is a big ambition of mine, it played a big role in coming here to Enschede."

Twente's technical manager Rene Roord added: "I am very happy that we were able to bring Olivia to FC Twente. She is the first goalkeeper of Wales and brings international experience with her. "

Clark wrote in her BBC Sport column in May that her club future was uncertain, saying her goal in 2024-25 “is to play and to be happy and feel settled at a football club”.
