Villa agree deal to sign Scotland captain Corsie

Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign Scotland captain Rachel Corsie.

The Kansas City Current defender is keen to move back to the UK after three-and-a-half years in the NWSL.

The deal is still awaiting international clearance.

Corsie had a loan spell at Birmingham at the start of last season and played seven games for the Blues.

But the 32-year-old is now set to join Birmingham’s rivals Villa, who will become the ninth different club in her 16-year playing career.
