Delphine Cascarino has signed a three‑and‑a‑half‑year deal with London City Lionesses, ending her stint at San Diego Wave to stay closer to home. The 28‑year‑old, who spent her entire senior career at Lyon, has already lifted six Champions League titles and nine French league crowns in 2024 season in Europe.

Cascarino has earned 86 caps for France, guiding them to the Olympic quarter‑finals in Paris 2024 and the last eight at Euro 2025, where she delivered an assist in each group‑stage win over England and the Netherlands. London City Lionesses now sit seventh in the Women's Super League after debut.

Coach Eder Maestre praised Cascarino as a “dribbler” who can dominate one‑vs‑one and bring a warrior‑like mentality to the wing. With her Champions League pedigree, the striker aims to lift trophies for London City Lionesses and help the club cement its place in the WSL hierarchy for the season ahead.
