Bilston Town FC Women & Girl’s

INTRODUCING OUR DEFENCE 2026/27

The Steelwomen are ready for another season, and we’re delighted to introduce our defensive line-up for our 2026/27 campaign in the Tier 7 Premier Division. 🔥

🛡️ #4 Vikki Shaw — Captain
Retained for another season, our captain leads from the back with experience, composure and determination. A true leader who sets the standards on and off the pitch. 🧡

🛡️ #5 Isobel Roper
Retained for another season after joining last Christmas. A versatile player who can operate at both ends of the pitch.
sadly Izzy suffers with a rare long term injury in both her legs that can impact her time on the pitch. Primarily a defender, but plays as an attacking threat as a striker for Bilston, Izzy gives the team valuable flexibility and can step back into defence whenever needed. 💪

🛡️ #6 Jess Bates
Retained for another season. A tough, no-nonsense defender who doesn’t shy away from a challenge. Strong, determined and always ready to put her body on the line for the team. 🧱
Sadly, Jess suffered a knee injury during last Sunday’s FA Cup match and will now face a spell on the sidelines while she focuses on her recovery.
Jess is a huge part of the team, and we know she’ll be missed on the pitch. 💪🧡
Everyone at Bilston Town Women is behind you, Jess! 🖤🧡

🛡️ #19 Shelly Jones
Retained for another season. Another key member of last season’s squad, Shelly joined towards the end of last season & she returns to build on her comeback following knee surgery in July 2025. Her experience will strengthen our back line once again. Strong, committed and always ready for the battle. 🖤

🆕 #15 Siobhan Peplow NEW SIGNING!
New to Bilston Town Women this season, Siobhan has already shown exactly what she’s capable of. Strong, fit and determined, she has the ability to read the game, intercept attacks and shut down opposition threats. 💥

Five players. One defensive unit. 🧱

Ready to defend the Steelwomen badge. 🧡🖤

🧡🖤 CAPTAIN VIKKI LEADS THE STEELWOMEN INTO SEASON TWO 🖤🧡

Vikki Shaw remains captain of Bilston Town Women for a second season.

After leading the team through our historic inaugural campaign, Vikki will once again wear the captain’s armband as the Steelwomen begin a new chapter.

Her maturity, sensibility and calmness under pressure make her a natural leader on and off the pitch. When the pressure rises, Vikki remains composed. When the team needs direction, she steps forward. When the battle begins, she leads the way.

Season one saw Vikki help guide Bilston Town Women to promotion to the premier divison of Tier 7. Now, she faces the challenge of leading the team into our second season, including our historic first-ever Adobe Women’s FA Cup campaign.

The standards remain high.
The ambition remains huge.

Vikki will lead the way. 👊🧡🖤

CAPTAIN FOR SEASON TWO
LEADER OF THE STEELWOMEN
