Wolves Women have added firepower to their squad with the signing of Australian forward Racheal Quigley.
The Old Gold have received international clearance for the striker, who impressed for Dan McNamara’s side during pre-season.
Quigley is vastly-experienced in the game having represented a number of teams in her homeland over the last 16 years, including the likes of Adelaide United, Melbourne Victory, Melbourne City and West Adelaide, while also spending time in America and South Korea with Kansas City Shock and Hwacheon KSPO.
Born in Adelaide, Quigley made quite the impression in her early years, earning accolades such as the W-League Most Valuable Player in 2009/10, W-League Goal of the Year in 2011/12 and then becoming the inaugural player for Kansas City in 2013.
The next stage of the journey brings her to Wolverhampton and manager McNamara is delighted to have the striker on board, and said: “I’m really excited to see Racheal on the pitch. We’ve waited a long time and it’s fantastic that her international clearance has come through now.
“She really excited us over pre-season and hopefully now we’ll get to see her in some league action.
“Racheal’s an outstanding forward with a great attitude and she brings all the right values that we want from a Wolves Women player.
“She’s really embedded herself well into the values and culture of the club and she’s worked her way up to be one of the favourites in the group.
“I’m delighted to get her onto the pitch and hopefully she can bring some more firepower to that frontline.”
Quigley will wear shirt number 16 and is available for this evening’s league game at Sporting Khalsa.
