Charlton Athletic have secured the signing of experienced full-back Ashleigh Neville from Leicester City on a two-year contract. The 33-year-old brings over 100 Women's Super League appearances to the newly-promoted side and reunites with manager Karen Hills, with whom she previously worked at Tottenham.

Neville expressed her excitement about the move, stating, "It's an exciting journey for myself and the club so I'm really happy to be here." She hopes to contribute her WSL experience both on and off the pitch. Neville's transfer from Leicester, who were relegated after a play-off loss to Charlton in May, likely involved a transfer fee.

In related moves, Leicester City have acquired Republic of Ireland internationals Jessie Stapleton and Jessica Ziu from West Ham for undisclosed fees. Versatile defender Stapleton, 21, has reportedly signed a three-year deal, while midfielder Ziu, 24, has penned a two-year contract. Both players expressed enthusiasm for their new clubs and the ambition shown.
