Albion have added German goalkeeper Melina Loeck to their WSL squad.

The 23-year-old arrives from Kristianstads DFF for undisclosed terms.

Albion have been on the look-out for a keeper since seeing Nicky Evrard return to parent club Chelsea due to injury.

Head coach Melissa Phillips said: “We’re really pleased to welcome Melina to the club as our first signing of the January window.

“She’s a young talent and possesses key attributes that will benefit our defence.

"She brings uniquely different strengths within our squad and will thrive competing with our other goalkeepers."

Phillips, whose side beat Bristol City 3-2 at the weekend, said on Friday she was looking to strengthen the squad “in a couple of ways” during the current window.
