Charlton Athletic have signed 25-year-old forward Ellie Brazil for the forthcoming season following her departure from Spurs.

She was capped over 30 times at youth level by England from U-17s through to U-23s, played nearly 60 games for Brighton before her two seasons at Tottenham and earlier had a year in Italy with Fiorentina.

Brazil told charltonafc.com: “It’s really exciting, it a really great time to be at the club. I think off the back of how close they were last year to promotion I think that our ambitions align with what we want from the season, i’m grateful to be here.”

“I spoke to Karen [Hills] and I knew of her from when she was at Spurs so I had heard a lot of praise about her as manager as well which entices you into the decision. As a club I know a lot of the girls and I know it’s quite a young squad, but a young English international squad which is nice to be a part of.”
