Birmingham sign Ji So-yun on loan from Seattle
- Published
Birmingham City pulled off an exciting late addition in the transfer window, agreeing a short-term loan for South Korean international Ji So-yun from Seattle Reign.
Ji‘s move was agreed late on Thursday night before the 23:00 BST deadline for WSL and WSL 2 clubs.
The experienced midfielder has made 41 appearances in her two seasons at Seattle Reign, having previously won six league titles in a 10-year period with Chelsea.
She left the Blues as one of the most decorated players in the club’s history, scoring 68 goals in 210 appearances under former manager Emma Hayes.
On the international stage, Ji is South Korea's all-time leading goalscorer and most-capped player, with 74 goals in 169 appearances since making her debut aged 15.
It is a significant addition for Birmingham City, who narrowly missed out on promotion to the WSL last season and hope to achieve their goal this time around.
"I'm looking forward to playing in England again. I like the ambition of the club and I hope I can help Birmingham on their journey to promotion and bring some exciting football for the fans. I am coming here to win," said Ji.
