Thistle land 'number one target' Currie

Partick Thistle have signed former Aberdeen keeper Jennifer Currie on a permanent deal.

The shot-stopper played a vital role in helping the Dons comfortably secure their place in the SWPL for the coming season but opted to move on from the club.

"I'm really happy to be a Partick Thistle player," Currie, who has also spent time with Hibs, Hearts and Hamilton Accies told club media.

"From speaking to Brian it’s clear the ambition he has for the team and that has shown every time I’ve come up against Thistle in the past.

"It’s a team who are so together and clearly fight for each other on the pitch and I wanted to be part of that and part of the way the club are trying to grow."

Manager Brian Graham added: "Jen is a player I’ve admired for a number of years. She has played well against us so often in the past, so it’s great to finally have her on our side and welcome her to Partick Thistle.

"I thought it was important to make sure we had a permanent goalkeeper this season and Jeni was our number one target.

"She’s an experienced, commanding goalkeeper who is a fantastic shot-stopper."
