Brighton confirm transfer of Gabby George from Man United

Brighton have announced the signing of defender Gabby George from Manchester United for an undisclosed fee.

The 29-year-old spent the last three years at United where she made over 50 appearances and was part of the squad that won the Women's FA Cup in 2024.

George has earned three caps for England and made her debut for the Lionesses in a 6-0 win over Kazakhstan in the SheBelieves Cup in 2018.

She was limited to just four starts in the Women's Super League (WSL) last campaign and will be hoping her move to Brighton will bring her more game time.

Women's first-team head coach Dario Vidosic said: "We are delighted to welcome Gabby to the club.

"Her versatility in defence gives us fantastic options and her technical quality on the ball will help elevate how we want to play.

- One question each big WSL club should ask themselves

"She understands what it takes to perform at the highest level in this league week in, week out, and her leadership both on and off the pitch will strengthen our group tremendously.

"We have big ambitions for the season ahead and adding a player of Gabby's calibre and character is a massive step forward for us."
