GLASGOW City and Scotland forward Fiona Brown has been rewarded with a professional contract in Sweden after battling back from two anterior cruciate ligament injuries, writes Alan Campbell.
The 21-year-old is joining Eskilstuna United, who beat City in the last 32 of this season’s Champions League. Brown has eight Scotland caps despite two lengthy periods out recovering from her knee injuries.
“My time at Glasgow City has been unbelievable,” Brown said. “To be part of a team that went to the last eight of the Champions League and won 10 titles in a row is something I’ll always remember.
“My development and return from injury would not have been possible without the club. They have set the standard for Scottish football and that is largely due to the endless hard work behind the scenes by the owners.”
City lost outstanding teenager Erin Cuthbert to Chelsea earlier this month and another player with Scotland experience, Sarah Crilly, has joined Celtic.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
