Scottish club Forfar Farmington have confirmed the signing of Cliftonville Ladies defender Billie Simpson, subject to international clearance.
Simpson has spent the past four seasons at the North Belfast Reds.
During that time she has picked up several individual awards including Ulster Footballer of the Year, Northern Ireland Women’s Football Personality of the Year as well as Northern Ireland Premier League Player of the Year.
Simpson has won 12 caps so far for Northern Ireland, and rose to fame when she was nominated for the 2019 Puskas Award alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and eventual winner Daniel Zsori.
That nomination was for her stunning 60-yard volley against Sion Swifts.
Speaking to the club website, Forfar Farmington head coach Ryan McConville said: “I am absolutely delighted to add the calibre of Billie to our squad and when I knew it was going to be possible to bring her in, I didn’t waste any time in tying her up.
"She is a highly sought after player in the NIFL Premier League and will be a massive addition to Farmington.
"I cannot wait to get started with her and I know on a personal level Billie will be keen to show what she is capable of in the SWPL1.
"I’d like to thank everyone at Cliftonville for making this a smooth transition."
