Delighted to share that I have finally been successful in securing a place on the UEFA A Licence course.
A huge thank you to all those who have supported me in getting to this point!
Delighted to have been offered the role of Sports Lecturer at
@Dudley_College
🎉
Really excited to continue to work with the brilliant group of people in the sports department after a great first year with the Womens Football Programme! 🔴⚪
A Licence application refused as priority has been given to coaches working in the Female Talent Pathway and Natioal League Coaches. As the current coach for Birmingham City RTC under 16s and top of NLD1 Stourbridge this is a very difficult pill to swallow!! Devastated.
Everyone is fully entitled to their own opinions, football is football - however Womens football social media should be filled with positive stories, like this letter from young fan, who wrote into the club to share his admiration for his favourite Women's team.
Champions and back to back promotions secured 👌🔴⚪️
An unbelievable group who have grafted so hard and deserve every bit of their success. Thanks to everyone who has followed us this season and to all at the club for their part in the process.
We. Are. Stourbridge.

@FAWNL
Our wonderful story has come to an end. It's been a real golden era and we have made memories that will stay with us all forever.
There was only one way to finish our 5 years at the club and that was together. Thank-you to all involved - I'm sure I'll be seeing you all soon!🔴⚪️
Sad to say farewell to Birmingham City U16s today. Thanks to all at the club for an amazing three years, I will forever be the girls biggest fans and I cannot wait to see where there football journeys take them!

Excited to give more time into projects at Stourbridge FC!
I have no words left for this cup run. 3rd round proper is a dream and completely unachievable without this incredible group of girls, a club that genuinely invests in their women's team and all the friends and family that have stuck with us.
@LFC
at the WMG please.
A wonderful 5 years of league football in the womens game:
Played 60
Won 58
Draw 1
Lost 1
Scored 354
Conceded 23
3x League 🏆🏆🏆
2x Cancelled Seasons
So many amazing memories with great people 👌
Not sure it will ever be done again.
Thanks to everyone who played a part in the story - we are over the moon and cannot wait to continue our story

Ward calls for the FA to review for non-senior transfers.
Villa will receive no compensation for Rabjohn’ move to Manchester United because WSL rules do not permit youngsters to sign senior deals until they turn 18, which Rabjohn will not do until her birthday later in April.
Huge congrats to
@LUFC
on the win - thoroughly deserved.
I cannot say more about the UNBELIEVABLE support from our fans today, never been more proud of this football club. The league is absolutely our focus and we hope to see you all again at the War Memorial soon 👌🔴⚪️
A huge win for

There was no game for our reserve team yesterday, but Derby’s win at Leicester means we still have an 11-point lead at the top of the table.
Our reserves travel to West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
A great result against a team very difficult to break down. No doubts that Peterborough will be one of the names in the mix at the end of the season.
