Football Ferns striker Rosie White has signed for Liverpool Ladies - subject to international clearance.

White, 22, has represented New Zealand at every youth level and she recently featured in the World Cup in Canada.

She also captained her country in the 2012 U20 World Cup and she's joined the reigning English champions after playing for University of California in the United States.

White was born in Auckland and she had previously played for Western Springs and Three Kings United in New Zealand and her performances at the World Cup impressed Liverpool head coach Matt Beard.

On Liverpool's website he said: "I am really pleased that we have been able to secure the signing of Rosie as I have been keen to improve my striking options since the beginning of the mid-season break.

"I have watched Rosie for New Zealand a number of times and have always been impressed by her. Rosie will add something different in the final third for us and I am looking forward to working with her."

White has scored 14 goals in 71 games for the Football Ferns since she made her senior debut in 2009.

"I am absolutely delighted to be able to join Liverpool Ladies and experience the Women's Super League," she told Liverpool's website.

"The prospect of moving to England has always been an attractive proposition to me, so to be able to join the reigning champions and play in the UEFA Women's Champions League is extremely exciting."
