Linda Lif Boama signed with Charlton Athletic Women on a three-year contract.

Boama joined the Addicks from Swedish side Kristianstads DFF for a club record fee, adding to the attacking line for Karen Hills' side ahead of their first Barclays WSL season.

On joining, Boama said: "I’m super happy. It's always been a dream to play in the WSL, so I’m happy to be here."

The 25-year-old was born and raised in Iceland, starting her career with Icelandic side HK/Víkingur. Following a season at HK/Víkingur, Boama signed for Icelandic side Þróttur in 2019, playing for them for two seasons before representing the Boston College Eagles as she attended Boston College in the United States.

After playing in Boston, Boama returned to her native Iceland, signing for Víkingur Reykjavík, prior to joining Kristianstad in Sweden. Now, Boama is in SE7, ready to make her mark.

A striker by trade, Boama said the fans will see "Hard work, and most of all, I’m a fast and strong player, so I’m always able to show those attributes," on the pitch.

Boama will wear the number 13 for the Addicks, which, contrary to popular belief, is a lucky number for her. "It’s for my mum. Her birthday is on December 13th, and there’s also this really famous saying: ‘lucky number 13’."
