Hong Kong international midfielder Ching Hang Chun has signed with Swansea City Ladies and will play in the Welsh Premier Women’s League for the three-time champions.
Chun’s transfer from Kitchee SC sees her become the first Hong Kong lady to play professionally in Europe. With 16 caps to her name since making her debut in 2013, Chun was an integral part of Hong Kong’s recent Asian Cup campaign, scoring in a 6-1 victory over Tajikistan.
“It’s a huge honour to be able to join Swansea,” said Chun after putting pen to paper. “The opportunity to play overseas, especially for one of the top teams in Wales, is something that does not happen easily. I am very grateful to everyone that has made this dream come true, especially Ian for giving me a chance.” Chun continued “I can’t wait to work hard, learn and hopefully give a challenge to the other girls.”
