Neville played under Karen Hills for three years at Tottenham
Charlton Athletic have signed full-back Ashleigh Neville from Leicester City on a two-year deal.
The 33-year-old, who has made over 100 appearances in the Women's Super League, brings a wealth of experience to newly-promoted Charlton.
Neville also reunites with manager Karen Hills, who she spent three years working with at Tottenham as they earned promotion to the top flight.
"It's an exciting journey for myself and the club so I'm really happy to be here," said Neville.
"I know what Karen's about and she knows what I bring. I'm really looking forward to working with her again.
"I'm hoping I can bring experience from the WSL and to bring things on and off the pitch with the way I play."
Neville joined Leicester on a one-and-a-half-year deal in January but the Foxes were relegated following defeat by Charlton in a play-off in May.
It is believed there was no release clause in her contract relating to relegation and a mutual termination was not agreed so a fee was likely paid by Charlton.
Meanwhile, Leicester have signed Republic of Ireland international Jessie Stapleton from West Ham for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal.
The 21-year-old spent three years in London but struggled to break into the team, instead enjoying loan spells at Reading, Sunderland and Nottingham Forest.
"I'm happy it's over the line and I'm excited to get going. This is a club with a lot of ambition," said Stapleton.
"The club can help me grow as a player and I feel I can help the club get back to where it belongs."
