​Glasgow City have announced the double signing of centre-back Jesi Rossman and forward Kelly Brady. Rossman arrives from Portuguese side SCU Torreense, where she recently helped the club lift the Portuguese Super Cup. She played a crucial role in a memorable win against Benfica, providing the assist for the opening goal and scoring the decisive strike in a Player of the Match performance.
Joining alongside Rossman is Brady, who makes the move from newly promoted Women’s Super League outfit Crystal Palace. The defender, who was born in the United States, has also represented Ireland at the international level.
Rossman began her professional career with Athlone Town in August 2023. In a season-and-a-half with the club, she secured the decisive penalty in the FAI Cup final and contributed to Athlone’s historic first league title in 2024. Her standout displays earned her a place in the League’s Best XI at the end-of-season awards.
Brady had a prolific 2025 season with Athlone Town, finishing as the club’s top scorer in the League of Ireland Women’s Premier Division with 26 goals across all competitions. She capped the campaign with a hat-trick in the FAI Cup Final to help Athlone lift the trophy. Her exploits also earned her the Women’s Personality of the Year accolade at the Soccer Writers Ireland Awards. Brady’s breakthrough season led to a call-up to the Republic of Ireland squad in November 2025.
On completing the transfer, Rossman expressed her excitement: “I’m so excited to sign with Glasgow City. It’s an incredible club with amazing history and I can’t wait to get started.” Brady added: “I’m thrilled to join Glasgow City. I’m eager to compete at the top of the table with this team and, together, bring more success to the club.”
