West Ham United have completed the signing of Polish international goalkeeper Kinga Szemik on a three-year deal.

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

Szemik joins West Ham United after spending the last two seasons with French club Stade de Reims. She made 29 appearances for the club in the Arkema Première Ligue. The 27-year-old has also represented Polish club TS Mitech Żywiec, American college team University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros and French side FC Nantes in her senior career to date.

On the international stage, Szemik has been capped by Poland on 17 occasions. She has been in and around the senior squad since 2018.

After signing for West Ham United, Szemik said “I’m so happy to be signing for West Ham United. West Ham is one of the biggest clubs in England with a rich history. The WSL is also the best league in the world, which has evolved so much over the years. I think this is the best place for me to progress as a player and evolve as a person as well.

“There’s always room for improvement and that’s what I look forward to most, developing as a player and trying to help the team as much as I can.

“I’m already looking forward to getting down to business and meeting the West Ham fans.”

Szemik becomes West Ham United’s first signing of the summer transfer window.
