We’re delighted to announce another new signing for the 26/27 season 💚

Lydia joins up with our First team from Southampton FC Women and has already found the back of the net in pre-season!

We’re delighted to announce our second new signing for the 26/27 season 💚

Jenna Sutton joins up with our First team from AFC Portchester Ladies ⚽️ where Jenna was part of their promotion winning team into the Southern Region league.

Jenna has immediately made herself part of the First team, she gets on really well with everyone and delivers on the pitch; her aggression and determination in defence we’ve certainly seen in her first 2 games 💪
