Everton have completed the signing of Norwegian defender Elise Stenevik according to reports on The Blue Girls’ official club website.
Stenevik moves to Walton Hall Park from Swedish club Eskilstuna United and she has signed an initial two-year deal with Everton. It is understood that The Blue Girls have paid an undisclosed fee for the player’s services.
The left-sided defender started her career in her native Norway with Arna-Bjørnar before spending the last three Swedish Damallsvenskan seasons with Eskilstuna United. On the international stage, Stenevik has represented Norway at various youth levels up to and including Under-23 level. The defender is still awaiting her senior debut for her country.
After completing her move to Everton, Stenevik said “We have a lot of Scandinavian girls at the Club and I’m looking forward to getting to know them as well as the other players we have.
“The style of play the manager is looking to play is very appealing: playing on the ground, high pressing, high intensity. There is also the mentality of developing and training hard – it all sounds really good. I want to help be part of that process, get to know my teammates both on and off the pitch so that we can get better as a team.”
Stenevik is new Everton boss Brian Sørensen’s ninth signing of the summer transfer window.
