England striker Jodie Taylor has re-signed at NWSL side Reign FC for the 2020 season, with an additional one-year option.

The 33-year-old scored five goals in 16 appearances for the club in 2019. Reign FC made the NWSL playoffs as the fourth seed before losing to eventual champions North Carolina Courage.

"I am pleased to be returning to Reign FC for the 2020 season," Taylor said. "There have been some exciting developments this off season, which I feel will only strengthen the club and team. I am eager to get started on what will be a promising year."

The former Arsenal and Birmingham forward has scored 19 international goals in 48 appearances since making her England debut in 2015.

Negotiations have been going on for most of the winter window and the 25-year old has already said goodbye to her Sydney FC team-mates.

Liverpool are the other club likely to try to business as they look to enhance their chances of staying in the WSL.

Vicky Jepson's side picked up their first league win of the season against fellow strugglers Bristol City and the club hopes to bring in one more player to bolster the squad after the loan signing of Rachel Furness in December.
