Thursday, 15th Aug 2024 13:21

Ipswich Town Women have signed young striker Isabella Fisher on a dual registration deal from Arsenal.

The 17-year-old, who scored 13 goals in 10 games for the Gunners’ U16s, was part of the England squad who were the runners-up at the UEFA Women’s U17 Championship in the summer and netted a nine-minute hat-trick in the 5-1 victory over Sweden in the group stages.

“Isabella is a really promising young centre forward who is very highly regarded at Arsenal,” manager Joe Sheehan told the club site.

“She has had some great experiences over the last year with England and has scored a lot of goals to help them qualify for the World Cup later this year in the Dominican Republic.

“She is a strong player, has good variety in her play and we’re thankful Arsenal have trusted us to help develop her over the season.

“We’re really excited to work with her and we think she will have a really positive impact on our squad over the course of the season.”

Fisher, Town women’s seventh signing of the summer, looks set to make her Blues debut on Sunday in the FAWNL Premier Division season opener away at Oxford United.

Runner added 16:20 - Aug 15 Why in the women's game is it called Dual Registration, when really it is a loan deal?

Eeyore added 16:34 - Aug 15 Very happy to read about men’s and women’s teams in the same place. Definitely best that way to continue promoting and publicising the women’s game which will hopefully be equal to the men’s one day.

Mark added 17:12 - Aug 15 A welcome addition as I think we were rather reliant on Thomas up front. A dual registration agreement means she can play for either club. Apparently it exists in men's football too at lower levels; so long as the two teams are not in the same league.
