Glasgow City have announced the signing of 23 year old American midfieder Carlee Giammona from Liga MX Femenil side C.F. Monterrey. Giammona helped the Mexican side reach the semi finals of the Apertura, narrowly losing out 1-0 to eventual champions UANL Tigres. Giammona scored twice her side’s Quarter Final victory over Tijuana. The American has also been involved with the U16 and U18 U.S national teams and had a very impressive college career with NCAA Division 1 side Pepperdine Waves.
Giammona said: "I’m super excited to continue the current season with the team and really happy to be part of the club. After doing my research, I found Glasgow City was an amazing club so it makes a great next step for me."
Head Coach Leanne Ross on her deadline day signing: "In Carlee we have signed a powerful and athletic attacking midfield player with that all important eye for goal. Her game intelligence to find pockets of space as well as her awareness to get turned and drive forward or find defence splitting passes fits perfectly with the attacking style of football we play at Glasgow City. Carlee has proven her ability to deliver impressive performances, assist and score all different types of goals throughout her time at college and during the start to her professional career playing for Liga MX feminil side, Monterrey in Mexico. Her technical and physical attributes will without doubt strengthen our squad and add to the attacking options available for the remainder of this season and beyond. I am delighted to welcome Carlee to Glasgow City and very much look forward to working with her during this next step in her career."
