Sheffield United sign former Birmingham City midfielder Devlin | OneFootball

Sheffield United have completed the signing of former Birmingham City midfielder Charlie Devlin on a free transfer.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Blades this afternoon.

The 27-year-old joins Sheffield United after recently leaving former club Birmingham City upon the expiry of her contract.

Devlin is hugely experienced at Barclays WSL2 level. The player has previously turned out for Millwall Lionesses, Manchester United, Charlton Athletic, Leicester City and latest club Birmingham City in the second tier. Devlin won the league title with both Manchester United and Leicester City.

In her nine-year senior playing career to date, Devlin has clocked up more than 100 Barclays WSL2 appearances. The player will be hoping to use her experience to help develop what is likely to be a young Sheffield United side this season.

After adding Devlin to his Sheffield United squad, head coach Ash Thompson said “Charlie is a proven top player at this level over a number of seasons now at various clubs where she’s shown her technical proficiency, creative qualities and match-defining moments in front of goal. She is a player that I’m very excited to work with to bring out the very best in the kind of player that gets fans off their seats.”

Eight players are now contracted to Sheffield United for the new season.
