Chelsea defender Cerys Brown has joined Barclays Women’s Championship club London City Lionesses on a permanent basis.
The Blues announced the news via a post on their official club website earlier today.
The 19-year-old defender initially joined London City Lionesses on a season-long loan deal in August. After making nine appearances for The Pride in the Barclays Women’s Championship, Brown has agreed to join the South Londoners on a permanent basis.
Brown is an up and coming talent. The player briefly appeared in the senior team at former club Chelsea while she is an England Under-19 international.
When speaking to London City Lionesses’ media team after completing a permanent move to Hayes Lane, Brown said “I honestly still can’t believe it. Since I’ve come here, everyone has made me feel so welcome, and I think I’ve become a better player for it.
“To be able to stay here and continue with everyone is a really good feeling.
“I just think the aspirations of everyone at this club is something I haven’t seen before.”
Brown could next be in action for London City Lionesses on Sunday afternoon when The Pride travel to Arsenal to contest an Adobe Women’s FA Cup fifth round tie.
