Highly-rated Dutch midfielder Nadine Hanssen has joined Aberdeen Women.

She ended a successful spell at Aston Villa, helping her side win promotion to the Super League, to start a family.

The 28 year old, who's the partner of Dons goalie Kelle Roos, began her career in her homeland and has also played professionally in Belgium.

She'd been training at Cormack Park to hone her fitness.

What are Nadine Hanssen's thoughts on joining Aberdeen ?

Hanssen told Red TV : “It feels great to be an Aberdeen player. I have been training with the team for a number of weeks now and all the girls have made me feel very welcome, so it is great to finally sign.

“There is a young talented group here that I am joining who have achieved a great deal over the past couple of seasons. If you look at where they have come from these last few years, it is very impressive.

“They know how to win games and they know how to play well otherwise they would not be in the position they are now.

“It is a new challenge for me and one I am really looking forward to. I want to help the team progress even more.

Co-Manager Emma Hunter said : “Nadine is a very composed player and has the potential to make a big impression on the Scottish game with the technical and tactical qualities she brings.

“We are looking forward to working with Nadine this year and this signing is further evidence of the direction we want to take as a Club, not just to sustain our SWPL 1 existence, but to really compete.”
