Argyle Women have made an addition to their squad with the signing of Phoebe Hampson.
The 23-year-old midfielder joins the Greens on a free transfer, having most recently played for Seton Hall in South Orange, New Jersey, in the NCAA Division 1 level of American collegiate soccer.
Across her four years in the Big East Conference, Hampson featured 75 times for the Pirates, scoring four goals and providing six assists.
Prior to her time across the Atlantic, she began her career at Everton, playing through the age groups at the Toffees’ Academy, and was also a part of the Welsh youth set-up, featuring in the Under-19s European Championship qualifying round group stage games.
Hampson is available to be included in the squad for today’s game at Hashtag United.
Head Coach Marie Hourihan said: “We are delighted bring Phoebe here to Argyle. After several years in America, playing at the Division 1 level, and time at an elite Academy in Everton, she will join the squad and bring some high-level qualities to our already strong team.
“She’s been superb in training, since she arrived earlier this week, and will be involved right away in our game against Hashtag.”
Christian Kent, Executive Lead for Women’s Football at Argyle, said: “We are over the moon that Phoebe has decided to join us at Argyle, as we head into a crucial part of the year.
“We saw an opportunity to bring in a player on a free transfer ahead of the January window, who will add value to the depth of our squad, as we are still competing across the league, league cup, FA Cup, and County Cup. Having this squad depth will be extremely important as we look to maintain performances across all competitions.”
