The 27-year-old, who can play at either centre-back or full-back, is strong in the air and has already proven during her four years in Germany that she has a nose for goal, racking up 16 goals in around 200 appearances in Bundesliga 1 and 2 and in the DFB Cup for her previous clubs. The 1.76-meter-tall Austrian has also won 71 caps for her country, scoring one goal in the process.

Sporting director Siegfried Dietrich was also delighted about the club’s new acquisition, saying: “Along with her confident manner and her qualities as an attack-minded defender, Virginia also brings domestic and international experience. She will be a great addition as we look to build an attacking team.”
