France winger left San Diego Wave by mutual agreement

Daniëlle van de Donk delights in London City debut

London City Lionesses have signed the France winger Delphine Cascarino on a three-and-a-half year deal, the Women’s Super League newcomers continuing their eye-catching recruitment drive by acquiring another highly rated international.

The 28-year-old won six Champions League titles with OL Lyonnes. Her most recent club was the NWSL side San Diego Wave, with whom she parted ways on Sunday by mutual agreement, having wanted to move back closer to home.

She scored seven times in 34 games for San Diego after joining in the summer of 2024, and helped them win the second edition of the World Sevens Football tournament in December, but it is her time with OL Lyonnes that built her reputation. She was also one of France’s top performers at last summer’s European Championship in Switzerland and has 86 caps.
