The 25 year-old right back joins the Gunners in the Women’s Super League (WSL) from NWSL club North Carolina Courage. She reinforces a side that is still reintegrating injured stars, like centerback (and England captain) Leah Williamson. Arsenal recently sold right back Noelle Maritz to Aston Villa, ramping up suspicion that manager Jonas Eidevall was in the market for an upgrade. It’s hard to conjure up one better than Fox.
