Carlton Fairweather: 'Stephanie Roche is a great signing'

Carlton Fairweather claims that Stephanie Roche will help Sunderland's WSL ambitions.

Sunderland Ladies boss Carlton Fairweather has said that the signing of Republic of Ireland international Stephanie Roche will help the club grow into a force in the Women's Super League.

The 26-year-old, who was nominated for a FIFA Puskas Award last year, joins the Lady Black Cats after unsuccessful spells in France and the USA.

However, Fairweather is convinced that Roche will be a good addition for the Wearside club.

He is quoted by the Sunderland Echo as saying: "Stephanie is a great signing for us. She's technically really good and predominantly left-footed which is also good for us.

"Stephanie is a very good addition to the squad and another signing who can help take us forward to where we want to be."

Sunderland are currently fourth in the WSL.
