Wales international Ffion Morgan has joined FA Women’s Championship side Crystal Palace ahead of next season’s campaign.
It comes after Morgan left fellow Championship outfit Coventry United last month after one season at the Butts Park Arena following her move from Cardiff City Ladies in the summer.
The nine-capped international played against her new club on the opening day of last season, making an impression on Eagles manager Dean Davenport.
“Ffion was one of the opposition players that stood out to us last year,” said Davenport.
“Therefore, when the opportunity to sign her came up, the club knew it was one that they needed to make happen.
“Having someone arrive with her international pedigree will be a big bonus to the side on and off the pitch; a great statement signing.”
Morgan added: “I’m super excited to be part of the team at Crystal Palace. I’m looking forward to a successful season as an Eagle.”
Morgan’s last appearance for Wales came during their 2-0 friendly win over Estonia in Wrexham in March before the season was brought to a halt owing to the coronavirus pandemic.
The nine-capped international is yet to play a part in the Euro 2021 qualifiers for Jayne Ludlow’s side, who return to qualifying action against Norway on 22 September.
Crystal Palace finished ninth in the second tier last season, one place ahead of Morgan’s former club Coventry.
