The young forward has a wealth of experience at the youth international level, having represented the Netherlands in the U17, U19, and U23 levels, before making her senior debut in February of 2022.

New manager, Robert de Pauw, spoke on the exciting signing of Grant, expressing, “Chasity is a fast winger with lots of pace. She can play on both sides and is also able to play as a striker or wing-back.”

“Chasity has made many youth international appearances and has now broken into the senior national team which has been great to see. She has earned her stripes in the Netherlands, winning everything there was to win.”

“She is a player I believe will suit the WSL with her style of play and I look forward to working with her and seeing her shine in front of our amazing supporters.”

Head of Women’s Football, Lee Billiard, said “Chasity is a player Robert identified to us early on and we wanted to ensure we added her to the playing squad during this transfer window to aid the competitiveness within the group.”
