Credit as well goes to Sarah, she was determined to make this work and shows that commitment and drive, and we are excited at how that will tie in to what we are as a team”

Sarah on her move

“This club has great ambition and always strives to progress and that’s why I’m excited to be part of that journey.

It’s amazing to see how much the FAWNL has grown since I first experienced it in 2017. I’ve played with clubs like Stoke City, Rugby, and Halifax and I’m excited to fully focus on my journey with Hull City Ladies now.

The club has been really welcoming and there’s good level of professionalism. It excites me that the players are high quality, the staff are hungry to succeed and this energy really matches my ambitions.”

Sarah will be available for selection for tomorrow’s FAWNl clash away at Middlesbrough

Sarah is available to sponsor for the remainder of the season
