SAINTS Women forward Emily Kraft has joined Scottish Women's Premier League side Aberdeen on a season-long loan.
The German-born Irish international heads north of the border for the 2024/25 campaign in pursuit of more regular first-team football.
Kraft, 22, joined Saints in the summer of 2023 and made 14 appearances, scoring once, during her first year at the club.
She will now link up with Colin Bell's Aberdeen side, who finished 8th in the SWPL 1 last term.
It was during Bell's spell in charge of Ireland that Kraft made her international debut.
The Aberdeen boss said: “Emily is a player I know well having worked with her previously and I believe her experience will be of real benefit to the squad.
“I look forward to helping her to fulfil her potential here at Aberdeen.”
Kraft has followed Laura Rafferty and Katie Wilkinson to Scotland after both joined Rangers earlier this summer upon their exits from Saints.
A statement from Saints added: "The club wishes Emily all the best during her loan spell and looks forward to monitoring her progress."
