The Toffees have brought on yet another Dutchwoman to the squad, a midfielder named Dominique Bruinenberg.

She will be joining two other Everton teammates from Netherlands, Inessa Kaagman and Siri Worm.

She spoke to Everton.com about feeling at home in her new team already:

“I played with Siri in the Holland Under-19s squad and I know Inessa from playing in the league back home.”

Bruinenberg played for Sunderland Ladies where she scored five goals in 25 games.

Even though Sunderland finished two spots above Everton at 7th place last season, she considers the move a step up:

“I am really happy to be here. For me, it is a step higher after last season and I am really excited to be at Everton.”

But she knows the team is still in development, having only rejoined the WSL1 last season:

“The Club is still building. It is a young squad but the way they have started since coming up to WSL 1, there is lots to gain. Everton competed really well with all of the sides in the league last season. I think it can only get better for us.”

“I am very excited to be here now and play my part in that.”

Here’s what she believes her strengths are:

“I would say I am a technically strong player. I am able to play those passes that put a teammate one-on-one with the goalkeeper. I can score some goals myself so hopefully I can add that value to the team.”

Welcome to the club, Dominique!
