“I had heard good things from Abi Harrison about the club and working with Tanya, once speaking with her I knew I wanted to be involved and she’s been great with me over the first few days.

“To be given the opportunity to train and play full-time is only going to benefit me and my skillset, so I’m looking forward to working hard and improving which should allow me to make an impact on the pitch.

“The Barclays FAWSL is a very competitive league, it’s much faster so I’m excited to develop my game and hopefully experience it first hand.”
