Claret women welcome two new signings

Ahead of Sunday's Women's FA Cup game, the Club are pleased to announce the signing of Lachante Paul and Naomi Hartley.

Striker Paul came through Arsenal Women's Academy.

The 22-year-old Londoner scored 15 goals in 15 games for the Gunners, finding the net twice in the side's FA Women's Super League Academy Cup Final win over Manchester United.

She made her first team debut for Arsenal in a FA Women's League Cup fixture in December 2018, before moving to fellow Women's Super League side Leicester City, where she teamed up with Clarets' keeper Kirstie Levell.

Paul made 35 appearances and netted 11 goals during her time with the Foxes.

Upon signing for the Clarets, she said: "I'm excited to join Burnley Women and I'm really looking forward to the exciting challenges ahead."

Bolstering the Clarets backline, Burnley born Hartley joins her hometown club from Women's Championship side Sheffield United Women.

Extensive experience of the top two tiers of women's football will bring great benefit to Rebecca Sawiuk's squad, as the 22-year-old defender's previous clubs include Manchester United, Coventry City and England's U17s and U19s.

On the move into claret and blue, Hartley said: "I'm buzzing to be here at my hometown club! I can’t wait to get started and be in and around the squad. The club's got big aspirations and I’m excited to be part of it!"
