Manchester City have signed Japanese goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita on a three-year contract from INAC Kobe.

This is the first time 28-year-old Ayaka Yamashita has moved to a club outside Japan. She expressed excitement and determination about playing in England’s top flight, stating that, despite winning numerous trophies in Asia, she felt it was time to embrace a new challenge.

Yamashita, who previously played alongside City midfielder Yui Hasegawa at Tokyo Verdy, has earned 74 caps for Japan and won 17 major titles in her career.
