Manchester United have completed the signing of former Reading defender Gemma Evans on a free transfer.
FAWSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Red Devils this afternoon.
Evans had spent the last two seasons with Reading prior to the expiry of her contract with the Berkshire club last week. The Welsh international defender made 39 appearances for The Royals in the Barclays Women’s Super League. She was unable to help the club to avoid relegation to the Barclays Women’s Championship this season.
The 26-year-old has been a solid performer in the English top flight for a number of seasons and she will be hoping to now further her career with Manchester United.
After signing on with The Red Devils, Evans said “It’s a massive honour to sign here. It’s something I’ve dreamt about. The ambition of the club is what brought me here. Seeing how well the girls did last year was amazing.
“It’s just an unbelievable feeling to be here now. The progression of the club is something I want to be onboard with and help build on the amazing foundations already here.”
Evans becomes Manchester United’s first signing of the summer transfer window.
