The 19-year-old Scotland international has signed until 2021 and will officially join up with the Blues after the Christmas break ahead of the second half of the Barclays Women’s Super League campaign.

A young, versatile player who is capable of playing at full-back or as a winger, on the right or the left, Napier will bolster Emma Hayes’ side with her fast pace and direct playing style.

It has been an impressive year for Napier and her performances for Hibernian led to her being named as the Scottish Women’s Premier League 1 Player of the Year. She played in 33 games and she found the target 22 times.

Having represented her country at Under-17s and Under-19s level, Napier earned her first senior call-up in August in Scotland’s UEFA Women’s Euro 2021 qualifier against Cyprus.

Upon signing for Chelsea Women, Napier said:

‘It feels amazing to be a Chelsea player and I’m delighted to have signed my first professional contract.

‘From a young girl it’s been a dream and an aspiration of mine so I’m delighted that I’ve finally done it with such a successful club like Chelsea.’
