Northern Ireland international Kerry Beattie has signed for Glasgow City.
Beattie, 19, joins the Scottish Women’s Premier League 1 side on a three-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
The striker makes the switch to Scotland from Glentoran Women where she played an integral part in capturing the Danske Bank Women’s Premiership title last season, scoring a brilliant 23 goals to top-score in the league. The Glens also won the League Cup and the Electric Ireland Women's Challenge Cup.

“I feel absolutely delighted to be joining a team as prestigious as Glasgow City,” Beattie said. “I am looking forward to this next chapter in my life and the opportunity to develop my game further greatly excites me. I can’t wait to meet the team and get to work.”
Beattie has made six appearances for the Euros-bound Northern Ireland Women’s team and scored her first goal for her country in their FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifier victory against North Macedonia in Belfast in November.
Beattie has been handed the number 11 shirt and could feature in Sunday’s Scottish Women’s Cup game v Queen’s Park, subject to international clearance.
