Glasgow City have announced the signing of Polish international attacking midfielder Kinga Kozak.

An established youth international, Kozak made her senior international debut eight days after her 18th birthday as Poland beat Azerbaijan in a 2021 UEFA Women’s European Championships Qualifier.

Since then, she has become an integral part of Nina Patalon’s international senior squad and has seven caps for her country.

Kozak joins City having gained experience of playing in the UEFA Women’s Champions League last season against Hungarian side Ferencvaros.

Commenting on her move to Scotland, she said: “I am glad that I have made a decision about a foreign transfer and that I am coming to the most titled football club in Scotland - Glasgow City.

“I hope that it will help me develop as a football player, as well as human being and that the time I will work in Glasgow will pay off in the future and it will affect my good level of play.

“I am happy that the club has trusted me so much and hand me the shirt with number 16, with which the biggest legend of the club - Leanne Ross - had played.

“I hope that together we will achieve a lot of successes and we will fight for top goals. I can’t wait for my first appearance in the colours of Glasgow City.”

Gleeson believes Kozak will prove an instant hit with her new team mates and supporters alike.
