Crystal Palace, newly promoted to the Women's Super League, have secured the signing of Tottenham defender Molly Bartrip for an undisclosed fee. The 30-year-old has agreed a three-year deal, reuniting with former Spurs captain Bethany England.
Bartrip was a key figure at Tottenham for five years, making over 100 appearances and being named vice-captain in 2023. She played in every game during the 2024–25 season and was part of the squad that reached the Women's FA Cup final in 2024.
This signing adds significant Women's Super League experience to the Palace squad, which also includes last season's WSL 2 top scorer Lexi Lloyd-Smith. Palace achieved promotion back to the WSL after finishing second in the second tier last season.
