Aberdeen FC Women have signed striker Emily Kraft on a season-long loan from Barclays Women’s Championship side Southampton.

The 22-year-old played under Dons’ boss Colin Bell, when he was in charge of the Republic of Ireland national team.

A former Eintracht Frankfurt and Lewes forward, Kraft joined the Saints last summer, making 14 appearances.

Head coach Colin Bell told afc.co.uk: “Emily is a player I know well having worked with her previously and I believe her experience will be of real benefit to the squad.

“I look forward to helping her to fulfil her potential here at Aberdeen.”
