Endo becomes the Hammers’ fifth Japan international, following in the footsteps of current No9 Riko Ueki, and manager Rehanne Skinner is pleased to be able to bolster her defensive options.
“I’m delighted to welcome Yu to West Ham United,” she said. “Yu is an intelligent, technical, ball-playing full-back with a fantastic work ethic.
“I was keen to add to our defensive line to complement our existing squad depth this summer, and I’m sure Yu will provide us with a different option in that area of the pitch.
“We’re proud of the blend of nationalities we have in the building and the diverse culture that we have created here. Having spent a long time with her previous club in Japan, I’m sure Yu’s experience will give her a solid foundation to excel in east London and playing in the best league in the world.”
Everyone at West Ham United would like to welcome Yu to the Club and wish her every success in Claret and Blue.
