Albion have added double-winning Scotland defender Rachel McLauchlan to their WSL squad for the coming season.

The 27-year-old moves south after three seasons with Rangers, having started her career with Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

She has also had spells with Aberdeen, Hibernian, Yeovil Town and Glasgow City and has won 23 international caps.

Albion expect to see her enjoy the challenge of WSL football.

Zoe Johnson, managing director of women’s and girls’ football, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Rachel to the club.

“She’s an experienced player who has competed in cup finals and the Champions League, as well as on the international stage for Scotland.

“She has developed her career in the last few seasons with Rangers and we’re looking forward to seeing her thrive in the WSL.”

McLauchlan scored in the Scottish Cup final win over Hearts last season as Rangers completed the double.
