Glasgow sign South African in "biggest transfer in Scottish football history"

Glasgow City have boosted their squad ahead of the Women's Champions League quarter-final against Wolfsburg with the signing of South Africa captain Janine van Wyk.

The defender has played a record 170 for her country and led them in their debut appearance in the World Cup last year. 

The club described her capture as one of 'the biggest transfers in Scottish football history'. Glasgow manager Laura Montgomery added: "Her record is incredible on and off the pitch in what she has done for girls and women's sport in her own country as well as in her promotion of equality."

Van Wyk is Glasgow City's third arrival this week as they prepare to take on Wolfsburg in San Sebastian, Spain, on 21 August after the signing of striker Krystyna Freda and full-back Zaneta Wyne. All three are eligible to play in the tie thanks to a change in the rules by UEFA.
