Northern Ireland midfielder Rachel Furness has returned to Newcastle United after leaving Bristol City.

Furness, Northern Ireland's record goalscorer, helped Bristol City win the Women's Championship title after signing in January 2023.

She also won the Championship with Liverpool.

Furness, who has also played for Sunderland, Reading and Icelandic side Grindavik, said signing for the club she has supported her whole life is a "very proud moment".

"I have watched from afar over the years and the ambitions of the club on and off the pitch are something I can’t wait to be a part of," said the 36-year-old, who previously played for Newcastle between 2006 and 2010.
