Halifax Friendly FC Belles

After three seasons of dedication to Halifax Friendly FC , it’s time to say thank you to Sar Ann .

While many only see or hear what happens on the pitch, Sarann has been one of the people working tirelessly behind the scenes to keep Halifax Friendly FC Belles running. As our Treasurer, she has given countless hours to organising, supporting and helping ensure everything stays on track.

Sarann has played a huge role in the development and success of the Belles. Whether it was balancing the books, sorting club admin or keeping Paddy and Amby in check, she has always been there when the team needed her.

Like many ‘behind the scenes’ roles that work smoothly, her contributions may have gone unnoticed by many but they have never gone unappreciated. The time, effort and care she has given to the club have helped create the positive and welcoming environment that makes the Belles such a special community to be part of.

She has even managed a few call-ups along the way and we were delighted when she was crowned Player of the Tournament in Barcelona! 👏

Thank you for everything you’ve done for the team and the club, Sarann. Your impact reaches far beyond football and you leave with the gratitude and respect of us all 💛🩷

After four seasons with Halifax Friendly FC , it’s time to say goodbye to Nichola Hargreaves as she hangs up her boots.

Nic has been one of those players every team wishes they had. Genuine, kind, thoughtful, reliable and incredibly hardworking, she has given absolutely everything every time she has stepped onto the pitch.

Over the years, Nic has played in numerous positions for the club, always putting the team first and never hesitating to do whatever was needed. Her work rate has been second to none – covering every blade of grass, never stopping running, competing for every challenge and leading by example from the first whistle to the last.

Beyond her footballing ability, Nic has been a fantastic teammate. She has welcomed and motivated players both new and experienced, helped create a positive environment around the squad and embodied everything that HFFC stands for. Whether it was training, matchdays or team socials, she was always someone the club could rely on.

One thing many of us will miss is Nic’s trademark congratulatory hug at the end of every game – win, lose or draw. A small gesture that perfectly sums up the caring, supportive person she is.

It has been an absolute pleasure for so many of us to play alongside Nic and for those who have had the privilege of coaching her. She leaves with the respect, admiration and gratitude of everyone connected to the club.

Thank you for everything, Nic. We wish you every success and happiness for the future 💛
