Wales defender Lily Woodham has joined Crystal Palace on loan from Seattle Reign until the end of January.

Palace gained promotion into the Women's Super League (WSL) last season - with former Bristol City and Reading left-back Woodham joining international teammates Elise Hughes and Josie Green in the top-flight.

Crystal Palace head of women’s football Grace Williams commented: β€œWe are thrilled to welcome Lily to the team for the first half of our season.

β€œShe is an incredibly talented player, and we’re confident she will make a big impact here with her WSL experience.”

Woodham said: β€œI’m super excited, I can’t wait to get going with the season.

β€œI have met the team and the staff, and everyone has been lovely, so I am buzzing!”

Woodham's deal runs until 31 January, 2025.
