Birmingham City have signed French youth international Oceane Hurtre from Paris St-Germain on a three-year deal.

The 21-year-old is the latest in a host of signings for the WSL 2 side who are hoping to push for promotion to the top tier this season.

Hurtre also had spells at AS Poissy and Olympique Lyonnais before returning to PSG in 2018.

"I am very happy to be here. This is a new stage for me, a new goal, and I can't wait to get started," she said.

"I am very eager to play in front of the supporters, discover the stadium and win many matches here."

Amy Merricks' side, who missed out on the title by two points last season, have made seven signings this summer including Adriana Franch from Kansas City Current and Lucy Newell on loan from Manchester United.

The deadline for the WSL and WSL 2 transfer window is 23:00 BST on Thursday, 4 September.
