The footballer also explained what she hopes to bring to the Lions’ team. “I like to think I’m very creative, attack-minded. I like to work hard for the team. I’m very excited to be part of this Club and to play with my teammates. I’m going to do my best and give everything for this Club.”

Her recent experience in the Bundesliga is another asset that Ruby Grant brings to Alvalade. “You can expect me to give everything. Playing in the Bundesliga was a great experience, I was able to learn a lot and take a lot from it. I hope to show that on the pitch. The German league is physical, it helped me in that sense, and I’m very excited to be able to show the fans what I can do.”

Grant will also reunite with Georgia Eaton-Collins, with whom she previously shared an experience in the United States. “It’s really good to have a familiar face in the team. I know she’s team captain, she’s a great leader and a great person, and I’m very happy to play with her,” she said, before leaving a message for the Sporting fans: “I’m really excited to connect with the fans, I’ve heard they’re excellent and that the atmosphere is very good. I’m looking forward to the first game, to meeting everyone and introducing myself on the pitch.”
