Man Utd Women sign Hayley Ladd: United make third transfer for WSL season

Manchester United Women have bolstered their squad further by announcing the signing of midfielder Hayley Ladd.

The 25-year-old has a pre-contract agreement with Women's Super League newcomers United and will join the Reds on a free transfer after leaving Birmingham.

Ladd, who has 29 caps for Wales and can also play in defence, began her career with Arsenal and spent two seasons with Birmingham after joining from Bristol Academy.

United won promotion to WSL in April just a year after their formation, dominating the Women's Championship with 18 wins from 20 games.

Man Utd Women tweeted: "We're delighted to announce that @HayleyLadd has signed a pre-contract agreement to join #MUWomen from the 2019/20 season!"

Following the announcement, Ladd tweeted: "Really happy to be joining @ManUtdWomen . Can’t wait to get started!"
