WHAT BRIGHTON’S MANAGER SAID
Dario Vidosic said: “We’re delighted to bring a player of Nikita’s ability and experience to the club. It signals our ambition as a club. Nikita’s record as a goalscorer speaks for itself and she will help us a lot in that regard. She is vastly experienced and will be an excellent role model, particularly for our young players. She is looking forward to getting stuck into a new challenge and we can’t wait to start working with her ahead of our first WSL game next Saturday against Everton.”
