We are delighted to confirm the signing of Japan international Kiko Seike from WE League side Urawa Reds, for undisclosed terms and subject to the usual regulatory processes.

The striker will join up with Albion when she returns from the Olympics in Paris, ahead of the new Barclays Women’s Super League season.

Managing director of women’s and girls’ football Zoe Johnson said, “We’re delighted to welcome Kiko to the club. She comes to us with a lot of experience at the highest level in Japan, which has earned her a well-deserved place in Japan's Olympic Games squad.

“We look forward to working with Kiko and seeing her career develop in the WSL.”

Seike finished the top goal scorer in the WE League last season with Urawa Reds.

The 27-year-old joins us after a 15-year spell with Urawa Reds, where she made more than 150 appearances.

She scored 40 goals, including 20 last season to claim the league’s top scorer award, as Urawa retained their league title. She also won the league’s Most Valuable Player award.

Kiko has made 21 appearances for Japan since her debut in 2019, including three last season and will be a part of Japan’s squad for the Olympics in Paris in July and August.
