Everton have signed midfielder Honoka Hayashi after her contract with West Ham expired.
The 26-year-old Japan international made 50 appearances in two seasons with the Hammers.
She is currently on international duty at the Paris Olympics, where Japan begin their campaign against tournament favourites Spain on Thursday.
Hayashi said: "I am honoured to join such a big club as Everton.
"I was looking for a new challenge, and I will do everything I can to help the club succeed."
The length of Hayashi's contract has not been revealed. She is Everton's third summer signing after the arrivals of Toni Payne and Ines Pereira.
"Honoka is someone I believe can help take our game to a new level," manager Brian Sorenson said.
"Having learnt more about this league over the past two years, it can be ruthless, and you need players with experience alongside the younger members of the group.
“I feel we have got that mix now. A mature but young team, which I believe is going to be key for us next season."
