Brighton sign former Barcelona and Spain midfielder Vicky Losada | OneFootball

Brighton have announced the signing of the former Spain midfielder Vicky Losada on a long-term deal. The 32-year-old was a free agent after a four-month stay at Roma and will join subject to a successful visa application.

Brighton will be Losada’s third Women’s Super League club after spells at Arsenal, from 2015 to 2016, and Manchester City, from 2021 to February 2023. She has won the Women’s FA Cup and two League Cups in England.

Losada has 67 caps but is not part of the Spain squad for the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand and was not selected for last year’s Euros. She has spent the bulk of career with Barcelona, winning the Champions League in 2021 and multiple domestic titles.

Losada is Melissa Phillips’ second signing of the summer after Pauline Bremer’s arrival last month. The head coach said: “She’ll bring an abundance of experience to the team both on and off the pitch in the new season ahead. She’s achieved much success in her career and that will help drive the winning mentality within our squad. We are certain that her knowledge of the game will add to the identity that we are continuing to build as a group.”
