The Jamaican international becomes Karen Hills’ fourth confirmed summer signing following the announcements of Eartha Cumings, Rachel Newborough and Elisha Sulola.

The defender has previous professional experience at clubs including West Ham and fellow Championship side London City Lionesses.

Owner Thomas Sandgaard said: “I’m really pleased we’ve been able to sign Vyan. She added a lot to the team when she joined the club last season, so it was important we were able to bring her back to be a part of this exciting new era.”
