LCFC Women is pleased to announce the signing of youngster Ellen Jones, subject to league approval and international clearance.
- LCFC Women sign midfielder Ellen Jones
- The 19-year-old joins from Colorado Buffaloes
- She is a Wales youth international and started her career at Bristol City
The 19-year-old joins the Foxes from Colorado Buffaloes, who she has represented in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 1 since 2021.
She started her career with Bristol City, making her debut for the Vixens in November 2020, before moving to the University of Colorado a year later.
Speaking to LCFC TV, she said: "It feels amazing to be here and I'm excited to come back to the WSL after some time in America - coming to Leicester is a great opportunity for me. I had a number of options, but Leicester felt like the right fit.
“This Club is a great place to be, and the Club is striving for more progress. I was 17 when I last played in the WSL with Bristol City before going out to America, and I think getting that WSL exposure at that age will only help me."
Internationally, Jones has represented Wales at youth level, and now links up with City ahead of the new Barclays Women’s Super League campaign, which starts at Everton on Sunday 11 September (1pm BST kick-off).
