Bance made six appearances for Blues in Barclays WSL2 throughout their title-winning campaign. After joining Leicester City, Bance said “ The team have been really welcoming and it’s a great group. I feel like I’ve settled in well already and that’s thanks to them. “The stadium is lovely and I’ve heard the fans here are excellent. I can’t wait to play in front of them.” Bance is Leicester City’s fifth signing of the summer transfer window. The Foxes are expected to continue to add to their squad in the lead up to next month’s big kick-off in Barclays WSL2. The East Midlands side are light on numbers following last season’s relegation.
