England international Fran Kirby 'strongly believes she still has a lot to give' following her move to Brighton on a free transfer after her Chelsea contract expired.
The 31-year-old won eight league titles during a hugely impressive nine-year stint at Chelsea and will be considered one of Brighton's biggest signings in their Women's Super League history.
"Coming into an environment now where I have so much experience, hopefully I can relay that to the players here," added Kirby. Kirby said it was "an exciting time" to be joining the club and hopes to help them with their "project". "You only have to come down to the training ground to see what they're doing here. I don't think I've ever seen, in the women's game, such amazing facilities.
"Of course I'd love to do everything I can to be involved in another Euros and help the Lionesses hopefully win it again," added Kirby. "Success for me would be getting out on the pitch every day, playing for the badge, and winning football games. That's where the success starts."Kirby's move to another WSL club means she will come up against former team-mates at Chelsea, where she has spent the bulk of her career after joining from Reading in 2015.
