Crystal Palace have signed Oxford United centre-back and 2019/20 Player of the Season, Georgia Clifford.
Clifford spent a season with Oxford in order to aid her recovery from an ACL injury that she sustained during her two seasons with Reading.
“I’m really excited to join Palace as it has always been a club I have admired,” she told cpfc.co.uk. “The drive and determination within the staff and players to keep developing and to move higher within the women’s game is something I look for in a club.”
Manager Dean Davenport said: “To return from a severe ACL in the manner in which Georgia has demonstrates the characteristics that I look for in our players.
“With Annabel [Johnson] named our new captain, Ffion [Morgan] joining and Amy [Goddard] playing in every game last season, Georgia adds further quality to an already impressive rear guard.”
Morgan joined recently from Coventry United and the Wales international had also suffered an ACL injury, the 17-year-old then using her enforced off-field time to obtain a UEFA B coaching license.
