Charlton Athletic sign midfielder Fitzgerald

Charlton Athletic have completed the signing of midfielder Lucy Fitzgerald on a free transfer.

The Addicks announced the news via a post on their official club website earlier today.

It has been reported that the player has signed an initial one-year deal with the South East Londoners.

Fitzgerald joins Charlton Athletic after leaving former club London City Lionesses earlier this summer. The midfielder built legendary status with The Pride after being one of the club’s pioneers. Fitzgerald was a member of the original Millwall Lionesses club before TUPE transferring to London City Lionesses following their formation in 2019. The player went on to make 115 appearances for The Pride in all competitions, scoring six goals.

Despite London City Lionesses’ rapid growth over the last 18 months, Fitzgerald continued to remain part of the first team. She increased her own personal standards throughout the club’s transition. The midfielder celebrated winning promotion with London City Lionesses back in May.

On the international stage, Fitzgerald was on England’s radar in her youth. She featured for The Young Lionesses at Under-19 level.

Fitzgerald is Charlton Athletic’s sixth signing of the summer transfer window. The Addicks have been very active in the transfer market in the last couple of weeks.
