Reading FC Women have made their first acquisition of the summer as defender Brooke Hendrix joins the club.

The 29-year-old defender joins the Royals after playing for Australian side Melbourne Victory last season.

Hendrix has previous experience in the Women’s Super League having spent the 2018/19 season with West Ham United.

She played 21 times for the Hammers that season before moving to Washington Spirit in 2020.

With a wealth of experience behind her, Hendrix has also played for Atlanta Silverbacks, Rangers, FC Staad, Fylkir, Brescia and Racing Louisville.

American defender Hendrix said: “I’m really glad to finally get here. I’ve been looking forward to it for a while now, I love the facilities, meeting the players.

“Everyone’s been so kind and welcoming, so I couldn’t be happier.

“Having been a part of the WSL from my time with West Ham, I always wanted to come back to England.

“Getting to compete against some of the best in the world, with players who are all passionate about growing the women’s game, it’s such a brilliant environment to be involved in.

“This season is all about playing consistently at a high level. Since I left England I’ve not been able to play as often as I would like for many reasons so I want to find that rhythm again, solidify the backline and of course help us win games.

“The girls did so well last season with their unbeaten run, now we have to try and go one better and I want to help to be a part of that.”

Reading FC manager Kelly Chambers said: “For us we wanted to add more depth with players who can push us to reach higher levels, especially in those defensive areas.

“When Brooke came on the radar for us, it was exciting to have someone who experienced what it takes in this league, but also has an understanding of different scenarios that are asked of you as a player in other top leagues including America and Australia.

“I think she’ll be a great addition to the squad and a personality that will definitely be infectious when she’s in the team.”
