Harrogate’s Rachel Daly has signed for Aston Villa on a three year deal for an undisclosed fee.

The 30-year-old England international has joined the club from Houston Dash, where she spent six years and made 101 appearances in the National Women's Soccer League.

Daly joins Villa off the back of a historic Euro 2022, where the Lionesses won the tournament after defeating Germany 2-1 at Wembley.

On joining the club, she said:

“It was a big decision, I’ve been away from home now for 10 years and for me family is the most important thing.
“I had a tough year with family and being away from them, so it was a big decision to come home.
“I spoke to a few clubs along the journey and it felt right to sign for Villa. The journey that the club is on is one I want to be a part of.”

Villa will embark on their third season in the Women’s Super League after finishing 10th and ninth in their last two campaigns since promotion.

Manager Carla Ward said:

“This is a big signing for us and one we’ve worked hard on completing. Rachel is a top forward and a proven goalscorer.
"Having performed admirably at full-back this summer, she showed us that she is a player you simply need in your team.
"But for us, she is a forward and we can’t wait to see her scoring goals."
