Leicester City Women is pleased to confirm the signing of
       Australian international striker Remy Siemsen, subject to
       league and international approval.
           Remy  joins  the  Foxes  following  a  third  spell  with
       Australian A-League outfit Sydney FC, where she made her
       final appearance for the club on Christmas Eve.
            She will now link up with Willie Kirk’s squad as they
       prepare to return to competitive Barclays Women’s Super
       League  action,  starting  with  a  fixture  against  Brighton  &
       Hove  Albion  at  King  Power  Stadium  on  Sunday  15th
       January (3pm KO).
            Speaking to LCFC.com, Siemsen said: "To be joining
       such a prestigious club is exciting for myself and my family.
       We've  all  grown  up  watching  English  football,  and  being
       able to come across and play with a club like Leicester City
       is dream come true.
            "The  facilities  here  are  amazing,  I've  never  seen  a
       facility so professional before. Everyone has been so welcoming and I feel right at home already.
       I want to help this team be successful, and every week is a new challenge."
           Born in St. Leonards, Australia, the forward began her career with Manly United and Sydney
       FC before venturing abroad in 2018 following a move to the United States with California Storm.
           She  scored  nine  goals  in  eight  league  appearances  during  her  time  in  the  States  before
       returning home to join Western Sydney Wanderers and subsequently Sydney FC for a second
       term.
           The  striker  has  amassed  over  150  appearances  in  her  career  to-date,  with  her  recent
       experience including a spell in Sweden’s top-flight with AIK, where she made 21 appearances
       during the 2022 Damallsvenskan season.
           Internationally, she made her debut for Australia against Brazil in October 2021 and has
       since made four further appearances for the Matildas on the world stage.
          LCFC Women can also confirm Demi Vance has left the Club following the termination of
       her contract via mutual consent.
           The Northern Ireland international joined the Foxes in September 2022 following a spell
       with Scottish Premier League outfit Rangers. The left back made five appearances for City during
       her four months with the Club.

       Player of the Season award.
           That season, she also scored the winning goal in the Continental League Cup Final, and she
       now has 55 goals in 115 WSL games in total, plus nine major trophies from her time at Chelsea.
           An established England international, Bethany represented her country at Under-19 and
       Under-23 levels before shining for the senior side with six goals in the qualifiers for the 2023
       FIFA World Cup.

       senior international caps to her name, scoring 11 goals.
