Kaylan Bradford-Williams, second winter recruit for Les Vertes

Les Vertes strengthen their attack! Athletic center forward Kaylan Williams joins AS Saint-Étienne from Dynamo Moscow, where she played 57 games.

Born in 1998 in Fort Wayne, USA, the striker began her career at Marion High School in Indiana, her home state. In 2020, she joined Hapoel Nir Ramat HaSharon FC, a member of the Israeli Women's Premier League, before signing with Lokomotiv Moscow for the 2021-2022 season.

In 2023, the American joined Moscow's other club, Dynamo, where she quickly became a key member of the Russian squad. In 2025, Kaylan Williams played 20 games and scored 6 goals in the Supreme Division Women.

Welcome to Kaylan, the new number 5 for Les Vertes, who has signed with Forez until May 2026. 

Kaylan Williams : "I am very happy to arrive in France and receive such a warm welcome from everyone. I am ready and I hope we can reverse the trend from the first part of the season and win as many points as possible!"

Sébastien Joseph, coach of Les Vertes : "A new offensive addition who will help us in our quest for offensive efficiency. Kaylan is a player who arrives with a certain amount of experience: she may be new to the French league, but she has already played in a European championship. Kaylan is a real fox in the box; whether with her head or her left foot, she is constantly on the prowl and has a very good sense of goal."

Kaylan Williams' Vert l'Avenir committment

As part of its "Vert l'Avenir" CSR initiative, AS Saint-Étienne is offering all of its employees, including its players, the opportunity to get involved in one of the four areas of focus of its ASSE Cœur-Vert association: Environment, Citizenship, Sport for All, and Health.

This season, Kaylan Williams will be participating in environmental initiatives.
