Hibs Women have announced the signing of goalkeeper Noa Schumacher on a one-year deal.
The young American stopper comes highly recommended and will look to challenge as our number one between the posts for the upcoming year.
She will wear the number 12 jersey for the Hibees this season.
Schumacher has spent the entirety of her career in her native America, progressing through the US college system.
With California Baptist University, she won the Western Athletic Conference Goalkeeper of the Year award in 2023 and was included in the WAC Team of The Year.
Noa has already joined the squad in Spain for our training camp in Alicante and will look forward to getting to know her new set of fans when she arrives in Scotland.
On joining the Club, Noa said she was delighted to kickstart her professional career in Edinburgh: “I’ve enjoyed my first few days here with the girls, I’m glad that I was able to make it over to Spain as it’s a great time to get to know the squad, bond with them ahead of the competitive season starting.”
Head Coach Grant Scott commented, “We are pleased to welcome Noa to the Club. It has been a whirlwind few days for her but it’s great to have her here in Alicante with us. Coming through the US college system, Noa brings a different perspective to the squad, her addition will provide us with more depth and quality in the goalkeeping department. We look forward to seeing her impact on the pitch this season.”
