Crystal Palace have reached an agreement to sign midfielder Sierra Enge from French club Strasbourg, subject to international clearance. The 26-year-old American has signed a two-year contract with the Eagles, becoming manager Jo Potter's first addition since the club returned to the Women's Super League (WSL) after a one-season stint in the second tier.
Player background and career path
Enge, a former United States Under-23s international, was selected by San Diego Wave FC in the second round of the 2023 National Women's Super League Draft. She moved to France in 2024, joining Strasbourg, who were then newcomers to the Première Ligue. During her two seasons with the club, she helped them finish ninth and seventh respectively, starting 21 of 22 league matches in the 2026-27 campaign.
First impressions at Palace
Speaking about her move, Enge expressed enthusiasm for the opportunity. “The WSL is the best league in the world and to be able to play in it is a dream come true,” she said. “It feels incredible to be at Palace, the facilities are amazing and I'm just really happy to be here.”
Manager's perspective
Manager Jo Potter highlighted the midfielder's qualities. “[Sierra] adds real quality and depth to our midfield as we push for success upon our return to the WSL,” Potter said.
Palace secured promotion back to the top flight after winning the Women's Championship in the 2023-24 season. The club is now building a squad capable of competing in the WSL, with Enge's arrival marking a key step in that process.
