Former Albion forward Katie Robinson has joined their WSL rivals Aston Villa.

The England international was out of contract with the Seagulls.

Predominantly a right winger, she effectively replaces the Juventus-bound Alisha Lehmann at Villa.

Robinson had shown signs of recapturing hr best form last season.

Recently-appointed Villa boss Robert de Pauw said: "She has pace and knows how to make use of her qualities.

“She wants to add to her five international caps and wants to make the next step with us.

"Her ambition, to become better, matches ours. I believe she is a player who can be a difference-maker in games.”
