- Defender Georgia Eaton-Collins signs LCFC Women deal
- Former England youth international joins the Foxes on a permanent basis
- The 22-year-old moves to the Club following time in America
The 22-year-old makes the move to Leicestershire following four successful years with the University of Florida and University of Central Florida.
Speaking to LCFC TV, Georgia said: "I’m really excited to be here and to have signed my first professional contract after spending time in America - I’m ready to get going.
“The training ground is great and of a high standard. I don’t think you get much better than this, so it’s great to officially be in and training with the girls.”
A central defender, Eaton-Collins brings a wealth of experience to the Club, having represented the Florida Gators and UCF Knights in the National Collegiate Athletics Association Division 1 (NCAA) during her time in the States.
Last season, she played 16 games in the NCAA for UCF Knights, with her displays at the back contributing to eight clean sheets, while off the field she graduated from university with a degree in Sports Management.
Internationally, the Ipswich-born player has represented England at Under-19 level, and previously enjoyed time at Arsenal prior to continuing her development in the USA.
She will now link up with her new team-mates ahead of LCFC Women’s Vitality Women's FA Cup clash against Reading at Pirelli Stadium on Sunday 29 January (4pm GMT kick-off).
