Caitlin Foord has become the latest Matilda to join the FA Women's Super League.

Foord sealed her transfer to reigning champions Arsenal where she will work under Australian coach Joe Montemurro.

The 25-year-old attacker joins Sam Kerr (Chelsea), Chloe Logarzo (Bristol City), Hayley Raso (Everton) and Jacynta Galabadaarachchi (West Ham) in the WSL.

"I'm sad to be leaving my girls at Sydney FC at this stage of the season but this is an unbelievable opportunity which is impossible to turn down," Foord said.

"Arsenal are one of the world's biggest clubs and the challenge of playing in England at the highest level is going to provide me with the ultimate test at this stage of my career.

"I've had seven-and-a-half wonderful seasons at Sydney FC and enjoyed a lot of success both personally and as a club.

"For that I'd like to thank all of the players and staff I have worked and played with over the years as well as the fantastic Sydney FC members for their support."

In more good news for Australian football, Aaron Mooy made his loan deal with Brighton Hove and Albion permanent.

Mooy completed his move to Albion on a three-and-a-half-year-deal for a reported fee of £5million (A$9.6m) from Championship side Huddersfield Town.
