Barcelona Femení has just signed England goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck, bringing the talented player to their roster. At 24 years old, Roebuck has joined the team on a free transfer after her contract with Manchester City expired. This move makes her the third England international to join Barcelona, following Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh.
Roebuck has signed a two-year contract with the Catalans and will be competing with Cata Coll for the number 1 jersey. This comes after the departure of Sandra Paños from the team. The goalkeeper has been capped 11 times by England and recently shared that she had been unavailable to play for Manchester City for much of last season due to suffering a stroke.
Despite this setback, Roebuck has made a full recovery and assured fans that there is no lasting damage to her brain function or vision. She is now looking forward to the new chapter in her career with Barcelona and is excited to contribute to the team’s success on the field.
