Albion believe new signing Gabby George can help them fulfil “big ambitions” for the coming WSL season.

The Manchester United defender, 29, is on board for an undisclosed fee.

She started her career at Everton and helped United win the FA Cup as well as earning a senior England call-up and thee caps.

Albion head coach Dario Vidosic said: “We are delighted to welcome Gabby to the club.

“Her versatility in defence gives us fantastic options and her technical quality on the ball will help elevate how we want to play.

 “She understands what it takes to perform at the highest level in this league week in, week out, and her leadership both on and off the pitch will strengthen our group tremendously.

“We have big ambitions for the season ahead and adding a player of Gabby’s calibre and character is a massive step forward for us.”

Albion are preparing to face PSG at the Amex in a friendly on Sunday (12pm) with advanced tickets now on sale, priced £10 for adults, £8 for concessions and £1 for under-18s. Prices increase by £5 on the day of the game.
