Aug 6 (Reuters) - Brighton & ⁠Hove Albion have signed defender ⁠Gabby George from Manchester United for an ‌undisclosed fee, the Women's Super League club said on Thursday.

The 29-year-old joins Brighton after three seasons ​at United, where she ⁠won the FA Cup ⁠in 2024. George made 54 appearances for ⁠the ‌club, including 24 last season.

“Her versatility in defence gives us ⁠fantastic options and her technical quality on ​the ‌ball will help elevate how we want ⁠to play," ​Brighton women’s first-team head coach Dario Vidosic said in a statement.

George began her ⁠senior career with Everton in ​2014 and went on to make 126 appearances, scoring seven goals, during a nine-year ⁠spell at the Merseyside club, helping the club win promotion to the top flight in 2017.

At international level, George progressed ​through England's youth ranks ⁠from Under-17 to Under-23 level before making ​her senior debut in ‌2018. She has three ​senior caps.
