Benne, 24, is a talented young keeper who already has experience playing in England (Bristol City Women) and Italy (Hellas Verona Women). She has also been capped at under-17 and under-19 levels for Norway.
With regards to the move, Benne said: “I’m really looking forward to joining Hibernian this season. Woman’s football in Scotland has an exciting future in sight and I’m delighted to be part of it.
I’m eager to meet all the girls and staff and hope I can make a difference for Hibs when we start the new season.”

Head Coach Dean Gibson also commentated on the signing and has described how important Benne will be to Hibernian Women. “I am delighted to get Benne signed, she’s a goalkeeper that’s got good experience in England and Italy playing in top environments in competitive leagues. Last season she played for a team that probably didn’t perform to the levels they wanted to but that means as a goalkeeper she’s been extremely busy, that will no doubt stand us in good stead going into next season."
We needed someone to come in and be a leader from that area of the pitch and I feel we will get that with Benne. Alongside her undoubted talent and ability.
Dean Gibson
“We look forward to welcoming her to the club from July 1st.”
