Reading sign third Norwegian for new WSL season

Lisa-Marie Karlseng Utland has signed for Women's Super League side Reading. Utland is the third Norwegian signing for the team this summer with Amalie Eikeland and Kristine Leine already on board.

The 26-year-old joins from Sweden's FC Rosengard after impressing Reading manager Kelly Chambers.

"Lisa-Marie will be a great addition," she said. "She is a fast and extremely powerful player who brings something very different to the side."

Utland was a part of the Norwegian team that went to the World Cup and lost to England in the quarter-finals. The Scandinavian side had their revenge in a recent friendly, beating England 2-1.
