NewsTaylor Hinds on the 'fantastic' Fuka Nagano and LFC Women's team spirit
Taylor Hinds hailed the 'fantastic' impact Fuka Nagano has delivered at Liverpool FC Women, along with the welcoming environment created by the entire squad.
Nagano arrived at the club in January from the North Carolina Courage in the USA and has quickly made herself a key component in the Reds' midfield.
Indeed, the No.8 has taken supporters and her teammates aback with her composed displays in the centre of the pitch for Matt Beard's side, almost instantly getting to grips with the demands of the Barclays Women's Super League.
Nagano was one of five additions to the team in the winter transfer window, as the club bolstered its ranks in the pursuit of climbing the table.

"When the new girls came in, I was hoping that they just felt at home straight away, and I think they have done," Hinds told WALK ON, Liverpool FC's official eMagazine.
"We're just such a good group of girls, and they've also slotted in and looked at home immediately. They've really helped us so far, especially Fuka, who has been absolutely amazing in midfield.
"She's a funny character and personality off the pitch and on the pitch. She's been fantastic. She's helped us with our structure and really stabilised that structure as well."
Gemma Bonner and Natasha Dowie have returned to enjoy second spells as Reds, with Sofie Lundgaard and Miri Taylor also brought in from overseas at the turn of the year.
Hinds continued: "It's just nice to see that people from other countries want to come to play in the Women's Super League because they know how good this league is and how hard and tough it is.
"You only want to play in this league to make yourself a better player. That's why we all want to be here – to improve ourselves.
"The rest of the players are good personalities too, so that's been really nice. It just feels that we're all a team and nothing is out of place. Everything goes together like it always has."
