Maritz faced limited playing time in the ongoing season with Arsenal, featuring in only four out of their ten Women’s Super League matches. Instead of utilizing Swiss international Maritz, Arsenal’s coach, Jonas Eidevall, predominantly deployed Katie McCabe as a makeshift right-back throughout the season. Maritz’s move to Villa reunites her with Lehmann, and the duo aims to leverage their shared experience from playing together for the national team to bolster Villa’s position and steer clear of relegation.

Arsenal, constrained by their full registration quota, needed to offload players before making new signings. With Maritz’s departure, the Gunners are anticipated to secure the signing of United States international, Emily Fox. The team’s season has been erratic, culminating in a disheartening loss to Spurs at the end of 2023, leaving them three points behind league leaders Chelsea. Eidevall hopes that fresh acquisitions can inject vitality into what has been a somewhat stagnant season, although this may necessitate some firm decisions and departures, including Maritz’s exit.

Born in California but relocating to her ancestral Switzerland at the age of 10, Maritz opted against representing her birth nation and instead amassed 104 caps for Switzerland.

The Swiss standout aims to join forces with Lehmann and potentially make her debut for Villa in their upcoming FA Cup match against Everton next weekend.
