Brighton have announced the signing of Sophie Peskett from Ipswich Town, with the accolade-laden forward joining the Albion’s attacking ranks.

The Tractor Girls have described the deal as a club-record fee, with the 23-year-old becoming the Seagulls’ fifth signing of a busy transfer window as the club looks to build on a historic FA Cup run and seventh-place finish in the Women’s Super League last season.

Peskett joins Brighton having spent the past seven years at Ipswich, where she made a total of 127 appearances. During her stay, the right winger helped Town to be promoted to the FAWNL Southern Premier Division and then WSL2.
