Town have confirmed that 14 players have signed new contracts with the women’s side for the WSL2 season ahead.

Skipper Maria Boswell (pictured), all-time top appearance-maker and goalscorer Natasha Thomas, Charlotte Fleming, Shauna Guyatt, Laura Hartley, Summer Hughes, Nina Meollo, Leah Mitchell, Natalia Negri, Lucy O’Brien, Sophie Peskett, Kyra Robertson, Ruby Seaby and Megan Wearing have all committed themselves to the club’s first ever campaign in the second tier having been offered new terms at the end of last season.

“We are delighted to retain so many of our title-winning team,” manager Joe Sheehan told the club site.

“The group formed such a strong togetherness last campaign and we’ll need to see that again heading into what will be a new and exciting challenge for us.

“We have so many talented players at our club and I’m looking forward to working with them all throughout our first season in the second tier.”

flykickingbybgunn added 11:05 - Jul 22 While I am pleased that last years successful team have been retained, I believe the womens players have much shorter term contracts. Why ?

blues1 added 11:29 - Jul 22 While its good that so many have signed new deals, we really need to strengthen the squad with some new players or its gonna be a tough season for the girls. The difference in quality between the 2 lges is big. So to give us a chance of surviving, really think we need to sign more quality.

trevski_s added 18:41 - Jul 22 Great that so many of the core team from last season have resigned and with the couple of new signings already confirmed, looking forward to their first season in the Championship. Great that Seaby has joined permanently (she was a dual registration with Arsenal last season), is their any word on Kaci Bonwick as she was offered one too and after the amazing debut she had on the final game of the season, hope we keep hold of her too
