Irish World Cup hopeful completes move to Championship leaders
Ireland striker Kyra Carusa has been prolific in Denmark and could boost her prospects of a World Cup call-up by bringing that form to Championship high-flyers London City Lionesses.

She said: “It's always been a dream of mine to play in England.

“I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to do something historic again and that's why I'm here.
