CAMPBELL SIGNS FOR EVERTON
Megan Campbell, a Republic of Ireland international, has joined Everton.
The 30-year-old defender joins the Blues with extensive Women’s Super League experience, having previously played for Manchester City and Liverpool.
Campbell, who can play as a center-half or left-back, adds to Brian Sorensen’s squad ahead of their league opener against Brighton & Hove Albion at Walton Hall Park on Sunday (1 pm kick-off BST).
“I’m delighted to be here,” Campbell said to evertonfc.com. “Coming into the WSL with a new team is a new challenge for me, and I’m looking forward to it.” I’m hoping to thrive in the blue of Everton, and I’m convinced the squad will have a fantastic season.
“Last season, the squad did very well under Brian and proved they can go places under his leadership. This season might be another step in that direction.
“I want to come in, enjoy the experience and hopefully help the team where I can. I am a senior player. I have played in the WSL and against top internationals, so I want to support my teammates wherever I can and make an impact, too.”
On his latest signing, boss Sorensen said: “We are delighted to welcome Megan to the Club. She is a player who is rich in experience both domestically and internationally with Ireland.
“Heading into the new season, we wanted to add some experience to our group and Megan ticks every box in that department.
“We are pleased to have Megan at Everton and I look forward to working with her this season.”
