"I think being the first independent team in the Barclays Women's Super League is an amazing achievement, it feels like since I joined the league, the growth in women's football has been exceptional. I really can't wait to be a part of this club. Hopefully I can bring a lot of experience, knowledge and some good football to the team."
"I'm excited to be part of such a historic season for the club. The ambitions of the club and what they want to do -- win trophies and titles -- as a player that's what you want to do. It's something that is going to take time to build, I'm excited to be a part of the early stages of this project and hopefully we can have a lot of success this season."
