Bristol City have signed 20-year-old Wales international Carrie Jones on a permanent three-year contract from Manchester United.

The forward spent last season on loan with Leicester City and the former Cardiff City Ladies player has made 20 appearances for her country, scoring twice.

Jones told bcfc.co.uk: “I’m really happy to be here and I can’t wait to get started. It’s exciting to be part of a team that’s been newly promoted so it’s a privilege to have signed.

“I’ve worked with Lauren [Smith] previously when I was at Cardiff so having the chance to play for her again is a really exciting opportunity. I’m really grateful to know the Head Coach already because when you walk into a new team and a new environment it’s very refreshing to have a friendly face.

“I’m very lucky to know a few of the girls too having played alongside Ffion [Morgan], Ella [Powell] and Liv [Clark] with Wales and they’ve been really lovely and welcomed me into the group.”
