Westfield Matildas defender Alanna Kennedy is the latest Australian international off to England, signing a loan deal with Tottenham Hotspur.
Kennedy joins the Barclays FA Women's Super League club off the back of helping Sydney FC reach the Westfield W-League Grand Final.
The move is the first time Kennedy has played outside of Australia or the United States, making it a total of eight Westfield Matildas now residing in England.
“Spurs is a highly-regarded club and, after hearing such great things about the team and what we are looking to achieve next season, I just knew it was a good fit for me," Kennedy said via a Tottenham statement.
“I love to win and having spoken to Karen and Juan, I believe this team is ready to compete at the top. I’m excited to help play a role in pushing the Club to new heights and I’m really looking forward to this new challenge in England after playing for many years in the NWSL.”
Tottenham finished seventh in the 2019/20 FAWSL Season, having gained promotion to the first division the year prior.
The 2020/21 Season is set to begin on 5 September 2020.
