Delphine Cascarino is a London City Lioness

London City Lionesses are delighted to announce the signing of Delphine Cascarino on a three-and-a-half-year deal.  

The 28-year-old arrives arrives with international experience, having previously played for NWSL outfit San Diego Wave and French giants OL Lyonnes.    

Cascarino won nine league titles and six Champions League trophies with OL Lyonnes after first breaking into the senior side during the 2014-15 season. 

The explosive, French winger then went on to score 31 goals in 204 appearances for Lyon.

She then made the switch to San Diego Wave in the summer of 2024, where she netted seven goals in 34 appearances.  

On the international stage, Cascarino progressed through France’s youth teams and has made 86 appearances for the French senior national team, making her debut in January 2016.

She has been part of the 2019 Women’s World Cup, the 2022 UEFA European Championship, 2024 Olympic Games and 2025 UEFA European Championship squads for her national team.

She was a star performer in the group stage of Euro 2025 for Les Bleues, providing an assist in the win over eventual champions England before scoring a brace and providing another assist in their 5-2 win over the Netherlands.  

On joining, Cascarino said: “I’m feeling good, and I am really excited to start the second part of the season with London City. I’m really happy to be here. 

“London City is the only independent women’s club in the WSL, which excites me. 

“England – for men and women – is the country of football. It’s always been a goal of mine to play in this league. 

“I want to play in the Champions League here at London City and win many trophies.” 

Head coach Eder Maestre added: “I’m so excited with this signing, I really think she is one of the most exciting wingers I have seen.

“She is a dribbler who can take on players in one-vs-one situations, and she will be very powerful on the wing. 

“Everybody can see how good she is when she plays, and I want that warrior-like and winning mentality off the pitch too, to help us reach our goals. 

“She has won six Champions League’s, so she has the ambitions and the know-how to win, on and off the pitch. She will help us reach the goals we want to get to.”
