Sheffield United have signed New Zealand international forward  Jacqui Hand after a spell with Lewes last season.

Hand has 27 caps for her country, playing at the 2023 World Cup and the 2024 Olympic Games, she has six goals for the Football Ferns so far in 2024.

She starred for Åland United in Finland, scoring 14 goals, before joining Lewes towards the end of last season, netting on the final day against London City Lionesses.

Head coach Ash Thompson said: “We’re really pleased to have brought in Jacqui for a variety of reasons. She is someone who knows this league but also has experience at the very top level, having played at a World Cup and an Olympic Games as recent as this summer. She’ll provide attributes we’ve been missing in our front line and we’re looking forward to working together.”
