Parris joins Brighton from Man Utd on WSL Deadline Day



Manchester United forward Nikita Parris has signed for Brighton on a permanent contract.

United triggered their option to extend Parris' contract by a further 12 months earlier this summer to prevent her leaving on a free transfer.The 30-year-old joined United in August 2022 from fellow WSL side Arsenal and went on to score 25 goals across 57 appearances for the club. Parris won the Women's FA Cup with United last season.

A United statement added: "Everyone at Manchester United thanks Nikita for her fine service and wishes her luck for the rest of her career."

Brighton head coach Dario Vidosic said Parris' arrival signals Brighton's ambition as a club.

"We're delighted to bring a player of Nikita's ability and experience to the club. It signals our ambition," he said.

"Nikita's record as a goalscorer speaks for itself and she will help us a lot in that regard.
