On this Day: Kate Longhurst joins West Ham United


On this day in 2018, Kate Longhurst made the move to east London from Liverpool.  

The move was a dream come true for Longhurst, who is a lifelong fan of the Hammers along with her whole family! 

The midfielder has played 50 matches since arriving, scoring two goals in the process – both of which came in her debut season. 
 


The combative midfielder gives her all whenever she is out playing in the Claret & Blue shirt, Longhurst played every minute in the WSL when Olli Harder arrived in late December, proving herself to be a vital cog in the manager’s style of play. 

The 32-year-old embarks on her 15th season as a player and will be hoping to inspire he side to a strong start when the campaign gets underway in early September. 

Take a look back at the signing of Longhurst by watch the video above.
