Brighton & Hove Albion have signed midfielder Bex Rayner, subject to the usual regulatory processes.

Zoe Johnson, managing director of women’s and girls’ football, said, “We’re delighted to welcome Bex to Brighton. She was a standout player last season in the Women’s Championship.

“She’s now looking to progress her career in the WSL, and we’re looking forward to seeing how she develops with us.”
