Zoe Johnson, managing director of women’s and girls’ football, commented, “Hannah is an exciting young talent and we’re delighted to welcome her to the club on her first professional contract.

“We’re confident in her ability to perform in a highly demanding environment, which has already earned her a well-deserved place with the England team this summer.

“We’re excited to start working with her when she returns from the Euros, and we wish her luck in the tournament.”

The 19-year-old keeper then spent the last year in the United States playing for the University of Southern California.

At international level, she has represented England at U16, U17, U18 and U19s, and played in the U17 European Championship. She was part of the squad that helped the young Lionesses qualify for this summer’s WU19 EUROS in Lithuania.
