“The club’s ambition and its steadfast commitment to growing as a women-only independent club resonate deeply with me.
“I look forward to making an impact on the pitch as we challenge for titles.
“Off the pitch, building on my passion for youth development, I am equally excited to work with Michele [Kang] in elevating women’s football in England and on the global stage.”
