Aston Villa confirm impressive Hannah Hampton replacement | OneFootball

Aston Villa have confirmed the arrival of a new goalkeeper ahead of the upcoming Women’s Super League season.

Netherlands number one Daphne van Domselaar has signed a three-year deal with the club following the expiration of her deal at FC Twente later this month.

The 23-year-old’s move is subject to international clearance and FA approval.

Van Domselaar arrives after England international goalkeeper Hannah Hampton departed the club earlier this week.

“Daphne is someone we’ve tracked for some time,” said manager Carla Ward.

“We knew we had real competition from some of Europe’s biggest clubs so we’re delighted she’s chosen to continue her development with us.

“She’s a player who comes with great pedigree and potential to be one of the world’s best. We’re delighted to have her and we very much look forward to working with her.”

Van Domselaar has 13 international caps for the Netherlands and will make the trip to Australia and New Zealand for the Women’s World Cup.
