Tractor Girls winger Anna Grey has signed her first professional contract.

The 19-year-old has signed a one-year deal, becoming the fourth Ipswich Town Women’s player to sign a pro contract, following Sophie Peskett, Paige Peake and Eloise King.

Grey began her career with her local club Bishop Stortford before joining Tottenham ahead of 2017/18.

After a year, she moved on to Town’s WSL Academy was part of the side which reached the semi-finals of the WSL Academy Cup in March 2019.

Grey, who has been capped by England at U18 and U19 levels, made her senior debut in 2019/20 and went on to claim a regular spot in Joe Sheehan’s side. She has now made 21 first-team appearances, scoring seven goals.

“I'm really happy to have finally signed the deal and I just can't wait to get going," Grey told iFollow Ipswich.

“It's a really big step. Coming through the Academy, I'm happy that I've come through with Ipswich and I'm glad to have got the pro.”

Freddies_Ears added 23:13 - Jul 28 cooper4England - the women's team is absolutely a part of ITFC. Our US owners are invested in women's football, and ITFC is a part of that. (All good news so far as I am concerned).

WeWereZombies added 10:54 - Jul 29 I know it is signing the deal that is the big step but when I read it first it sounded like moving on from Tottenham to Ipswich was the big step up, let's hope in the future that is the case.
