Crystal Palace Women sign Katie Stengel

Stengel joins Palace on a two-year deal from the National Women's Soccer League club.

The 32-year-old American brings vast experience to Palace, counting Bayern Munich, Washington Spirit, Utah Royals, and Liverpool amongst her former clubs.

A proven winner, Stengel won the Under-20 World Cup with the U.S. national team in 2012, as well as a Frauen Bundesliga title in the 2014/15 season with Bayern Munich.

She found the net consistently the last time she played in the Barclays Women’s Super League, scoring an impressive 17 goals in 33 appearances with Liverpool during the 2022/23 season.

Head of Women’s Football Grace Williams said: "We’re really excited to have Katie join us at Crystal Palace.

“She’s got great experience and knows how to find the back of the net, so we can’t wait to see what she brings to the team this season."

Stengel said: "It's been a whirlwind, I'm very excited to be here.

"I loved the WSL when I was playing in England, so I’m just happy to be back and to get an opportunity."
