33-year-old midfielder, Danielle van de Donk, joined London City Lionesses on a free transfer following the expiry of her contract at French giants Lyon, now rebranded OL Lyonnes. Both OL Lyonnes and London City are part of Michele Kang’s growing portfolio in women's football with the American investor continuing to make waves across Europe.
This marks a significant first signing for the Lionesses ahead of their inaugural WSL campaign after they clinched the Championship title in May. The club operates independently of any men’s team - setting it apart in a league dominated by affiliated giants like Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.
