Aston Villa Women are continuing their exceptionally busy day after completing their third signing of the day, and second from Leicester City Women, in the form of 21-year-old defender Ella Franklin-Fraiture.

The highly rated youngster made 15 appearances for the Women’s Championship side last year, scoring two goals and one assist.

She joins Melissa Johnson in signing from Leicester City Women, meaning she’ll already have a peer at the club.

Before last season, Franklin-Fraiture had plied her tried for Oxford United Women, where she had been since the age of ten.

Now a University of Birmingham graduate, she will be already well accustomed to the city and to Head Coach Gemma Davies, who is Head of Women’s football at the university.

Welcome to the club, Ella!
