"This is a new challenge and I want to help the team put as many points on the board as possible. I'm hoping that the experience I have both on and off the pitch can help. Now is the right time for a new challenge and I'm looking forward to seeing what this new chapter will bring."
"She's gone from amateur football through to the professional era and seen the growth of the game, and of Tottenham. She's been a part of it. She probably wants more game time and Passmoor is looking for more experience to help. Leicester have a young team at the moment. It will probably be a sad and emotional time for her to leave a club she has grown with. I'm sure the fans and her team-mates really appreciate what she's done."
"In total, Neville appeared 191 times for Tottenham and built up vast experience in the WSL, which was an attraction for Leicester manager Rick Passmoor. She joins Leicester following the arrivals of Sweden midfielder Emma Jansson from FC Rosengard and Aston Villa full-back Sarah Mayling on loan."
Leicester have signed 32-year-old Ashleigh Neville from Tottenham on a one-and-a-half-year contract. Neville spent nearly a decade at Tottenham, featuring 191 times and helping the club rise from WSL 2 in 2017-18 to promotion in 2019 and a 2024 FA Cup final appearance. Neville described the move as a new challenge and said she hopes her experience on and off the pitch can help Leicester collect points. Leicester manager Rick Passmoor values her WSL experience. Neville joins after signings Emma Jansson and Sarah Mayling as Leicester sit ninth with two wins and three draws from 11 matches.
