Double winners Chelsea sign veteran Riley

WOMEN’S Super League and FA Cup champions Chelsea strengthened their side yesterday after agreeing a deal with FC Rosengard for defender Ali Riley.

The 30-year-old New Zealand international signed a two-year deal, though she will remain with the Swedish club until the mid-season in the middle of July.

“Life is short and you never know how long you can have a career as a football player,” said Riley. “I feel that I have to take this opportunity to challenge myself and play for a club that is one of the world’s largest football brands.
