The 28-year-old full-back, who boasts Women's Super League (WSL) experience for the likes of Leicester City, Bristol City and Liverpool, has linked up with Becky Langley's Barclays Women's Championship side after spending the last two seasons on the South coast, serving as the Saints' skipper last term.

Harriet Massey helped the Magpies' new arrival get her bearings in her new city, with a trip to St. James' Park and the stadium's surroundings, and brought newcastleunited.com this gallery from Purfield's first day in black and white.
