Leeds United Women welcome Kanisha-Mae Underdown to the team

Fourth summer arrival for the Whites.

Leeds United Women have confirmed the signing of central midfielder, Kanisha-Mae Underdown.  

The 24-year-old has extensive experience and can operate both defensively and offensively within the central areas. 

A former Welsh Premier League star, Kanisha joins the club from Cardiff City, with whom she had been with since 2011 having progressed through their development programme. 

A technically strong and gifted midfield player, Underdown can dictate the tempo of a match with her wide-ranging passing ability. 

Underdown becomes Dan O’Hearne’s fourth summer signing for the Leeds United Women’s team as they edge closer to their season beginning. 

Discussing his latest arrival, O’Hearne said: “Kanisha is moving up from Wales to come and play for us which shows the dedication and commitment she has to being here.

“We see her playing in more of a holding role in our midfield, as she is strong in the tackle and likes to build the play up, she is a very good link player.

“I think fans will see that Kanisha is strong in her play, and comfortable on the ball. We’re really pleased to bring her to the club.”
