West Ham United Ladies have signed two former Chelsea players.
The Ladies announced the signing of England international Claire Rafferty from Chelsea F.C. Women.
Rafferty signs for the Hammers after spending the last 11 seasons with Chelsea; a run in which the left-back helped the Blues claim the FA WSL title and FA Women’s Cup on two occasions – both coming in double-winning campaigns.
“I’m buzzing about joining West Ham Ladies,” Rafferty told whufc.com. “As soon as I turned up at the training ground I got a really nice, gut feeling about the Club, and that’s what made me think that this is the club for me. It eliminated any doubt. It didn’t matter what anyone said; it was that feeling that was the decider.”
Earlier this week the Ladies signed goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer following her departure from Chelsea in May.
The 27-year-old was the club’s first signing since being of the Women’s Super League.
Spencer has previously played for Arsenal and Birmingham She todl WHUFC.com “I know West Ham is looking to attract new players who want to go on a new journey with the club, The vision and aspiration at West Ham is great and is something I really want to be a part of.”
