Hurtig has spent the last three seasons with Arsenal after joining the club from Italian side Juventus.

In her time at Arsenal, Hurtig helped The Gunners to win two Subway Women's League Cups while her final appearance for the club saw her lift the UEFA Women's Champions League trophy in Lisbon.

Hurtig is the first of Arsenal's out of contract players to find a new club this summer.
