Salma Amani has joined French top-flight outfit Dijon from second-tier club Issy for a one-year deal.
The Morocco international was impressive for Issy last season as she has scored eight goals in 16 matches for the French side following the league cancellation due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Before her move to Issy, the 30-year-old previously starred for CNFE Clairefontaine, Saint-Brieuc, Guingamp and Fleury, scoring 35 goals in more than 200 matches in the elite division since 2005.
Amani's arrival saw her become the third signing for Dijon during this transfer window after the capture of Nigeria's Desire Oparanozie from Guingamp and goalkeeper Maryne Gignoux from Fleury.
On confirming her acquisition, head coach Yannick Chandioux extolled the technical and tactical qualities of the Moroccan.
"She is a player with above-average technical qualities, capable of playing a technical leadership role on the team," Chandioux told the club website.
"Salma has a large playing volume and should contribute a lot technically and tactically."
