Wales defender Maria Francis-Jones has joined Burnley FC Women from Manchester City.

The 20-year-old full-back began her career at Cardiff City before moving to the Manchester City academy in 2021.

She has captained Wales at Under-19 level and made her senior Wales debut in March 2020 against Estonia.

"I'm really excited and proud to say I'm a Burnley player. This club has great values and aspirations," Francis-Jones said.

While with Manchester City, Francis-Jones spent a year of dual-registration at Blackburn Rovers and a year of the same agreement with Sheffield United.
