“I really like the way West Ham look to play football and the values the Club holds. Making this move is a dream for me; a dream that’s become a reality!”

Galabadaarachchi was offered the chance to move to England previously after training with the likes of Manchester City, however, the then 15-year-old signed with Melbourne City.

She spent a season with City before moving to Glory ahead of the 2018/19 W-League season where she made five appearances.

Galabadaarachchi has also previously been named in a Matildas training camp.

“She has got enormous potential, at 18-years-old, and I’m very excited by what she offers," coach Matt Beard said.

“I’ve seen a lot of young players, and I like working with and developing young players, and she is one of the best I have seen, in terms of ability.”

Last season, West Ham finished seventh in the league with seven wins, one draw and 12 losses.
