Arsenal goalkeeper Fran Stenson has joined Barclays Women’s Championship club Sheffield United on loan for the remainder of the season.

The keeper started her career as a youth player with Birmingham City before spending time at Manchester City. Stenson joined latest club Arsenal in 2019 but she is yet to make the breakthrough with The Gunners as a result of the strength of their goalkeeping department. She will now be hoping to get more games under her belt with Sheffield United.

“Everyone’s been great, they’re a really nice group of girls. They’ve been so welcoming and I can’t wait to get started now. I want to make an impact and show what I can do.”
Stenson could be involved for her new loan club when Sheffield United travel to Durham on Sunday.
