Linda Motlhalo: Banyana Banyana midfielder joins Swedish club Djurgarden

After a memorable season with Beijing Phoenix in 2019, the midfielder has completed a move to the Swedish side

Linda Motlhalo has joined Swedish Damallsvenskan outfit Djurgarden from Chinese club Beijing Phoenix, via Houston Dash on a two-year deal.

Motlhalo became a free agent following the expiration of her contract with Beijing in January 2020 after she helped the Chinese women's top-flight club to a fifth-place finish in the 2019 season.

The 21-year-old, who moved from National Women's Super League side Houston Dash to China last year, starred for South Africa as they played at the Women's World Cup for the first time in 2019.
