The midfielder has signed a three-year contract with the English top club, marking her return to the Women’s Super League. Roord previously played for Arsenal from 2019 to 2021 before moving to Wolfsburg. Despite reaching the final of the Champions League, Wolfsburg lost 3-2 to FC Barcelona in Eindhoven last month.
Preparation for the World Cup

I really like the way they play, and I feel like it suits me perfectly. There’s a lot of quality in the team, and it’s a young side with a lot of potential.”
