We are excited to announce the signing of Ukrainian international defender Yana Kotyk on a three-year-deal.
The 23-year-old joins the club from 1925 Metalist Kharkiv, where she played a key role in their recent Ukrainian Women's League and Women's Cup triumphs.
A former teammate of current City forward Nicole Kozlova at Vorskla Poltava, Yana has earned 19 caps for Ukraine and marked a memorable debut against Bulgaria in 2024 with a 90th minute goal.
She has since established herself as a regular and featured prominently during Ukraine's first-ever UEFA Nations League A campaign.
On signing for Glasgow City Yana said:
"This move means a lot to me. Leaving home to start a new chapter isn’t easy, but it’s exactly the kind of challenge I’ve been working towards.
I’m proud to join Glasgow City, ready to push myself every day, give everything I have, and create special memories with the team. I can’t wait to begin this journey."
Head Coach Leanne Ross on signing Yana:
"Yana comes to us with a proven record in winning trophies at club level while also establishing herself internationally. She is another player hungry for success and I'm really looking forward to having her as part of the group. "
