CHELSEA LADIES ADD SEVENTH NEW PLAYER

Posted on: Wed 19 Feb 2014

Chelsea Ladies are delighted to announce the signing of Dutch-born
attacking midfielder Jackie Groenen.

The 19-year-old has joined from German side FCR 2001 Duisburg and will
bolster manager Emma Hayes's attacking options for the new FA Women's
Super League, which gets underway in April.

Groenen was born in the Netherlands, lived all her life in Belgium but has
represented Holland at youth level and is currently deciding which country
to represent on the senior stage.

Despite her tender years the midfielder, who can also operate in a wide
attacking role, has already played 55 times in the German Bundesliga,
scoring 14 goals in the process.

'I want to develop my game and the opportunity at Chelsea gives me the
chance to live my passion and play and train with top players every day,'
she said.

'I am confident that together, the team and I will achieve our goals and I
am excited to be joining the FA WSL for a new start in my young career.

'The set up at Chelsea Ladies, the club, team and the staff are the ideal
fit for me and have the same high standards I expect.I am looking forward
to getting started.'

Chelsea Ladies will begin their season with an FA Cup fifth-round tie on
Sunday 13 April, before kicking off their league campaign away to Bristol
Academy on Thursday 17 April, with our first home game against defending
champions Liverpool three days later.

The teenager is manager Hayes's seventh signing of a busy winter having
already completed deals for English quartet Rachel Williams, Laura
Bassett, Gilly Flaherty and Katie Chapman, as well as Sweden's Emma
Wilhelmsson and South Korean playmaker Ji So-Yun.

Hayes said: 'Jackie is a talented young player who fits our playing style.
She is very technical and very composed in possession and has a lot of
experience for someone so young, having played in one of the top leagues
in Europe in Germany.

'Jackie has impressed us and I'm sure she will be a good addition to the
group.'
