Bristol City have completed the signing of former Liverpool midfielder Rachel Furness on a deal until the end of the season.
The Robins announced the news via a squad update on their official club website this afternoon.
Furness moves to The Robins High Performance Centre on a free transfer. The midfielder’s Liverpool departure was announced this morning following a three-year spell at Prenton Park. Furness has experience of winning the Barclays Women’s Championship with her former club and she will now be looking to repeat the feat with Bristol City.
After completing her move to the South West, Furness said “It feels great to be here. It’s been a whirlwind week but I’m glad to get it over the line and I can’t wait to start with the girls.
“When I got off the phone (with Lauren Smith), I was smiling from ear to ear. It was a fantastic conversation.
“I’ll need to get my head down and work really hard to break into this team because the girls are flying.
“The Championship this season is even more competitive than ever and I know how tough it can be. You might not play your best football every week but it’s all about the results and hopefully I can help bring that to the table.”
Furness could go into the Bristol City squad for this weekend’s Barclays Women’s Championship fixture at Blackburn Rovers.
