Bissell secures Bristol City return | OneFootball

Bristol City have completed the signing of midfielder Emma Bissell on a free transfer.

The Robins announced news of the deal via a post on their official club website this afternoon.

The 24-year-old versatile midfielder joins Bristol City after leaving former club Charlton Athletic earlier this summer. Bissell was a promotion-winner with The Addicks last season after they defeated Leicester City on penalties in a play-off.

Bissell returns to Bristol City for a second spell. She previously turned out for the club in the 2020/2021 season. She made 18 appearances for The Robins in all competitions before spending time combining football with her studies in the United States.

In addition to her spells with Bristol City and Charlton Athletic, Bissell has also turned out for Manchester City and Everton in her career to date.

On the international stage, Bissell represented England in her youth. She turned out for the Lionesses at Under-19 level.

After sealing her Bristol City return, Bissell said “I’m super-excited to be here, it’s a club with massive ambition and you can really see the direction they’re wanting to push so to be a part of that makes me really excited for the season ahead.”

Bissell is Bristol City’s fifth signing of the summer transfer window.
