Tottenham Hotspur forward Kit Graham has joined Ipswich Town Women on loan for the rest of the season.

The 30-year-old is the third signing of the week by Ipswich, following midfielder Colette Cavanagh and winger Lucy Ashworth-Clifford, who have both been playing abroad following spells in Scottish football.

Ipswich are bottom of Women's Super League 2, five points from safety, and at home to third-placed Bristol City on Sunday (14:00 BST).

Graham has scored 11 goals in 88 appearances for Tottenham, including playing in the 2024 Women's FA Cup final.

"I definitely feel like I can bring something to the group which is going to help during the second half of this season," she said.

"The infrastructure and facilities that are available to us players are excellent and I feel like this is a great next step for me."

There is an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.

"She will be a huge addition on the pitch with her quality and experience, and just as valuable off it, through her leadership and professionalism," said Town technical director Sean Burt.
