CommBank Matildas' forward Remy Siemsen has officially signed for Leicester City for the rest of the Barclays WSL season, joining from Sydney FC.
The 23-year-old signs with the Foxes after returning to Sydney FC after a season abroad with AIK Fotboll in the OBOS Damallsvenskan. The striker joins LCFC Women on a permanent deal.
The forward’s one-season stint in Sweden saw her play 21 games, making 20 starts where she scored three goals and had three assists, then returning to her hometown club Sydney FC in the off-season.
“To be joining such a prestigious club is exciting for myself and my family. We've all grown up watching English football, and being able to come across and play with a club like Leicester City is a dream come true.“ Siemsen told LCFC.com.
"The facilities here are amazing, I've never seen a facility so professional before. Everyone has been so welcoming and I feel right at home already."
"I want to help this team be successful, and every week is a new challenge."
Leicester is still searching for their first points of the WSL season, however, they are going strong in the Women's FA Cup after picking up a 5-0 win over Sunderland throughout the week.
Siemsen’s new side finished just two points shy of relegation last season, with the Australian forward aiming to help them avoid a trip back to the Championship.
The Foxes resume their WSL campaign this Monday morning (AEDT), hosting Brighton & Hove Albion at King Power Stadium.
