The 20-year-old made eight appearances for The Foxes in their FA Women’s Championship title-winning season but she left the club this summer after spending two years at Farley Way.

With the new FA Women’s Championship season just 10 days’ away, Cataldo’s move to Bristol City has been confirmed. The deal is thought to have been on the horizon for a while with the player having spent some of pre-season with Lauren Smith’s side.
After completing her move to The Robins’ High Performance Centre, Cataldo said “Bristol City have shown real ambition with the players they have brought in this summer and with the move to the High Performance Centre for all home games.
“I’ve been in with the group for a few weeks now and all the players and staff have made me feel at home already, which is great as a new player coming into a club.
“I had my first run out in front of the fans last weekend against Lewes – they made a lot of noise and I’m looking forward to seeing them fill up the stands this season.”
Cataldo becomes Bristol City boss Smith’s ninth signing of the summer transfer window.
