Commenting on her move to Glasgow City, Perea said: “I am very pleased to be joining Glasgow City, as it is an incredible club with a rich history.

“I’m looking forward to taking this next step in my career and continuing to learn and develop my game. I can’t wait to meet the team and get started!”

Head Coach Eileen Gleeson added: “We are delighted to welcome Peyton to Glasgow City FC.

“Peyton a robust midfielder who brings a wealth of experience of playing and training at exceptional levels is a great addition to our team and the Scottish Women’s Premier League.”

Perea, who will wear the number 22 jersey, is the latest arrival at Petershill Park, following Northern Irish forward Kerry Beattie who penned a long-term contract and winger Abbi Grant who rejoined for a third spell on loan from Leicester City earlier this week.
