Danish striker Amalie Thestrup has signed for City on a two-year deal.

The 28-year-old's career began in her home country with Brøndby IF, where she won the Elitedivisionen and Danish Cup double twice - in 2015 and 2017 - before spending time with Vejle BK and BSF.

In 2019 the forward made the switch to Europe to join Roma, where she spent a season before signing for Liverpool in the Barclays Women's Championship.

She began a spell with PSV Eindhoven in 2021, then returning to the Barclays Women's Super League side West Ham on loan in January 2023.

"It feels amazing to have signed for Bristol City and I'm extremely excited to get started," said Thestrup. "When the interest was there I was excited about it from the beginning and then I had a good conversation with Lauren [Smith] and also spoke to Rachel Furness and Amy Rodgers, who I know from my time at Liverpool, and throughout all those conversations it just felt right.

"Getting promoted to back to the WSL is a testament to where the club is going and the ambitions that everyone here has so I think the goal is to establish the team in the top flight and show that's where we belong.

"I've seen what it takes to compete in the WSL and you have to perform at your best every game because every team and every player is so talented. Hopefully I can utilise my experience going into this season."
