Arsenal Women defender Cecily Wellesley-Smith has joined Swedish side FC Rosengard on loan.

The 19-year-old will spend the entire 2026 Damallsvenskan season with the Malmo-base club, who finished 11th in 2025.

Wellesley-Smith signed her first professional contract with Arsenal last summer, and spent the first half of the season on loan at Women's Super League rivals Leicester City.

Having made just two appearances, the England youth international was recalled by the Gunners in January.

Wellesley-Smith told Rosengard's club media she had "heard good things about the [Swedish] league" from Arsenal teammates Smilla Holmberg and Stina Blackstenius.

Arsenal head coach Renee Slegers led Rosengard to back to back league titles in 2021 to 2022 after previously assisting Jonas Eidevall, before he joined the Gunners.
