LCFC Women have completed the signing of midfielder Charlotte Fleming from Chelsea Women, subject to approval.
- Young midfielder Fleming joins the Foxes on an 18-month contract
- The 19-year-old teams up with the Club from Chelsea Women
- LCFC Women are currently top of the FA Women’s Championship
The 19-year-old joins a Foxes side who are currently top of the FA Women’s Championship, with 32 points from 13 games.
A graduate of Chelsea’s Academy, Fleming joined the Blues at the age of 10 and became the third Academy product to step-up to the women’s team.
She made two starts for Chelsea last season, both in cup competitions against Lewes and Charlton Athletic, while she also played three times for England’s Under-17s in the UEFA Women’s Under-17 Championship.
Speaking to LCFC.com, Fleming said: "For me, it’s a great move. I’m really excited to continue my development and get some game time. I want to help the team as much I can.
“I’ve spoken to some of the girls and they seem lovely. They’re here to enjoy what they do, but also they’re a determined group that want to be successful.”
The youngster will now link up with her new team-mates ahead of Sunday’s league encounter at home to Crystal Palace Women at Farley Way Stadium (2pm GMT kick-off).
