Jennifer Beattie has joined us from Manchester City on a long-term contract.
The 28-year-old defender returns to Arsenal ten years after signing her first contract with us in 2009. Jennifer made 83 appearances and scored 25 times during her four-year spell in north London.
Her time with the club proved to be a successful one too, as she won the FA Women’s Super League (2012, 2013), the FA WSL Continental Cup (2011, 2012, 2013) and SSE Women’s FA Cup (2011, 2013).
Her first goals for Arsenal arrived in November 2009, when she scored a second-half hat-trick to complete an incredible comeback against Chelsea after being 2–0 down.
