West Ham United have signed Canadian international centurion Shelina Zadorsky following the expiration of her contract at Tottenham Hotspur.

She made ten appearances on loan to the Hammers last season, playing 66 times for Spurs after joining them from Orlando Pride.

Zadorsky told whufc.com: “I’m delighted to be back at West Ham United on a permanent basis.

“Rehanne [Skinner] and I have built a great relationship over the years, and I think she knows how to get the best out of me. I always demand high standards of myself, and I really want to be that rock at the back for the team.”

Manager Skinner commented: “I am delighted to extend Shelina’s time at West Ham, following a very successful loan spell during the second half of last season.

“Shelina has a wealth of experience across the domestic and international game, having made over 100 appearances for Canada and represented her country at a third Olympic Games in Paris this summer, which is a remarkable feat for any player.

“Shelina has a fantastic attitude and a desire to win that carries through the team. She is versatile across the left-hand side of the backline and her technical ability on the ball is a real strength to her game. I have no doubt Shelina will continue to help us evolve our style of play and we all look forward to having her back in the group as a permanent Hammer.”
