Roses FC, Montreal's entry in the fledgling Northern Super League, has announced veteran French international defensive midfielder Charlotte Bilbault and Canadian goalkeeper Gabrielle Lambert as its first player signings.
Earlier Monday, AFC Toronto forward Jade Kovacevic was the first player signing revealed by the six-team women's pro league, which is set to kick off in April."Charlotte is an impact player, with an exceptional ability to read the game and set the pace," Roses athletic director Marinette Pichon said in a statement."Her presence in midfield, where she gets balls back and leads the phases of the game, will be a major asset for us.
"She's a very aggressive player, a true warrior on the field. This is an important element in winning back the ball and taking back the offence," Ella Palis, who played with Bilbault at Bordeaux, told Le Monde in 2022. Lambert, who also played in France for ASPTT Albi, Montpellier and Saint-Etienne, started for Freiburg in a 4-1 loss to VfL Wolfsburg in the German Cup final in May 2023 before more than 44,000 fans at Cologne's Rhein Energie Stadium.
