Scottish Women’s Premier League club Hibernian have announced the signing of Charlotte Potts on an 18-month contract. 

The 25 year-old is the club’s first signing of the summer and has come from Sunderland AFC.

The defender said: "I’m delighted to be joining Hibernian. I felt it was the right move for me when I looked at what the club was all about.

“Hibs have had a lot of success over the years and that really appealed to me. I’ve always believed losers quit when they fail; winners fail until they succeed. Myself and Hibs have a lot in common and I can’t wait to get started.”

Head Coach Dean Gibson added: “We have been speaking and trying to make it happen for a good few weeks now. 

"She is a versatile player who can play in both midfield and defence. She will bring both athleticism and a physical presence to our squad.”
