Bissell signs for City.

Bristol City Women have completed the permanent signing of Emma Bissell following her departure from Charlton Athletic.

The 24-year-old returns for a second spell at City, having previously made 18 appearances for the club during the 2020–21 season.

Bissell began her career at Manchester City before moving to Everton, and joins off the back of a promotion-winning campaign with Charlton in WSL2.

Speaking on her return to Bristol City, she said: “I’m super excited to be here, it’s a club with massive ambition and you can really see the direction they’re wanting to push so to be a part of that makes me really excited for the season ahead.”

City Women Head Coach Charlotte Healy added: “We're delighted to welcome Emma to Bristol City. She brings a wealth of experience, having played at the highest level in the WSL with Everton, and arrives off the back of a successful season with Charlton where she played an important role in their promotion.

"Emma is an excellent player who has consistently shown she can make an impact in the final third. Her quality, experience and winning mentality will add real competition to our squad.”

"As well as her ability on the pitch, Emma is a fantastic professional whose experience will be invaluable within the squad. We're excited to see what she'll bring to the group and look forward to seeing her in a Bristol City shirt."
