Albion Women have signed Manchester City goalkeeper Marie Hourihan on loan until the end of the season.

She is available to make her debut away to WSL2 leaders Doncaster Belles on Sunday.

Hourihan, 30, has played top-flight football for both City and Chelsea and is a Republic of Ireland international.

She follows Chloe Peplow and Amanda Nilden as Albion’s third signing so far this month.

Albion boss Hope Powell said: “She is a player who will bring a wealth of experience.”

Hourihan will not be permitted to play against her parent club when City visit Culver Road in the FA Cup a week on Sunday.
