London City Lionesses have signed France international forward Delphine Cascarino on a three-and-a-half year contract, the club confirmed on Monday. The agreement marks a significant addition for the Women’s Super League side as they strengthen their attacking options for current and future campaigns.
Cascarino, who previously played for San Diego in the National Women’s Soccer League, brings to London City a wealth of experience at both the club and international levels. Her move follows her departure from San Diego, where she had been a key contributor up front.
The 29-year-old winger has been a regular for the French national team, known for her pace, technical skill, and creativity in wide areas. She has represented France in multiple major tournaments, including the FIFA Women’s World Cup and UEFA European Championship, providing depth and versatility to the squad.
Before her stint in the United States, Cascarino spent the bulk of her professional career with Olympique Lyonnais Féminin, one of Europe’s top clubs. During her time in Lyon, she played a vital role in the team’s domestic and international successes, including their UEFA Women’s Champions League triumphs.
London City Lionesses, competing in the Women’s Super League, view Cascarino’s signing as a step towards solidifying their ambitions for growth and competitive performance in the league. The forward is expected to bring experience and leadership to a relatively young squad.
Club officials expressed their excitement about the signing, noting Cascarino’s pedigree and the positive influence they believe she will have both on and off the pitch. While financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, the commitment through mid-2029 reflects a long-term vision shared by both the player and the organization.
Cascarino is set to join the team immediately and could make her debut in upcoming league fixtures, pending registration and fitness status. Her arrival is seen as a boost to London City’s attacking depth as the team seeks to climb the league standings in the second half of the season.
