Rangers sign former Southampton and Sheffield United goalscorer Wilkinson

Wilkinson joins Rangers after leaving former club Southampton at the end of his contract. The Saints were keen to keep the striker for next season but all parties could not agree a contract extension. The player will now move north of the border for the first time in her career.

Since starting her senior career in the Barclays Women’s Super League with Birmingham City, Wilkinson has gone on to make a name for herself in the second tier of English football. The player has over 60 Barclays Women’s Championship goals to her name from productive spells with London Bees, Sheffield United, Coventry United and Southampton. He will now hope to top the goalscoring charts again with new club Rangers.

After joining The Gers, Wilkinson said “I’m really excited; it’s an absolutely massive club and they’ve made me feel so welcome since I’ve been here.

“I think the ambition is massive here; the club wants to win things and that fits very well with the values ​​I have.

“I want to win football games, leagues and for me I just hope I can contribute to the success the club can have.”

Wilkinson links up again with Rangers boss Jo Potter after the pair previously worked together at Coventry United.
