The 20-cap international is the latest Ireland women’s player on the move in a busy summer of transfers for Carla Ward’s side.
“I’m happy it’s over the line and I’m excited to get going – this is a club with a lot of ambition,” Stapleton told LCFC.com.
“The club can help me grow as a player, and I feel I can help the club back to where it belongs.”
