Dutch captain Van Den Berg joins Liverpool Ladies
Liverpool Ladies have completed the signing of Netherlands captain Mandy Van Den Berg.
The Reds have secured the signature of the highly rated 25 year-old defender from Lillestrom SK as they won the Toppserien league title and Norwegian National Cup double last season.
Mandy is a cultured centre back who captained Netherlands in the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada as the Dutch exited the competition at the last 16 stage.
On making the move to England, Van Den Berg said: “Once I heard of Liverpool Ladies’ interest there was only one place I wanted to move to. It is a massive Club with real ambitions for the 2016 season and I cannot wait to get started.
“Moving to England is a really exciting opportunity for me and I am really looking forward to playing in front of the passionate Liverpool Ladies supporters.”
Speaking of the move to Liverpool Ladies manager, Scott Rogers said: “I am delighted to have signed Mandy who I believe will be a key player for us this season. Mandy has proven for Netherlands what a top class defender she is and I am looking forward to working alongside her.”
“The fact that Mandy has over sixty caps for Netherlands and is the current captain highlights what a quality player she is. Having watched her performances in the FIFA Women’s World Cup, I have no doubt that she will be a big signing for us.”
