INTRODUCING OUR ATTACKERS | 26/27 SEASON 🧡🖤
The players who bring the goals, creativity, pace and unpredictability to our attack. Whether leading the line, playing as a number 10 or creating opportunities for teammates, our attacking players have a vital role to play this season.
They’re the players who can change a game in a moment — with a run in behind, a clever pass, a bit of individual brilliance or simply being in the right place at the right time. 🔥⚽️
🟠 #5 ISOBEL ROPER — RETAINED
Retained for another season after joining us last Christmas, Izzy is one of our most versatile players and can operate at both ends of the pitch. Primarily a defender, Izzy mainly plays an attacking role as a striker for Bilston, giving the team valuable flexibility. Her ability to win the ball, drive forward and pick out the perfectly timed pass is invaluable. Her long powerful range of shots often hit the back of the net. Her workrate despite her ongoing injury, her skill, determination and willingness to adapt wherever the team needs her make her a real asset to the Steelwomen. 💪
Sadly, Izzy manages a rare sports injury affecting both calves, which does impact the amount of time she is able to spend on the pitch. But when Izzy is out there, she makes a difference. 🧡🖤
🆕 #8 TASH HUGHES — NEW SIGNING
Tash brings experience, confidence and plenty of attacking ability to the squad.
Primarily operating as a number 10, Tash has the vision and football intelligence to read the game and make things happen in the final third.
Her ability on the ball allows her to create goal-scoring opportunities for herself or link up with teammates to unlock defences. She’s confident in possession, sees opportunities others may not and adds another exciting dimension to our attack.
We’re looking forward to seeing Tash make her mark in orange and black. 🔥
🟠 #9 FRANKIE GRIFFITHS — RETAINED
Frankie is an intelligent attacking player who can operate between the lines as a number 10 or lead the line as a striker.
A clever footballer with a real eye for goal, Frankie understands how to find space, bring others into play and put herself in dangerous positions. Her ability to combine intelligence with attacking instinct makes her a constant threat in the final third. ⚽️
Frankie underwent left knee surgery in March, ruling her out for the remainder of last season while she concentrated on her recovery.
She recently made her return in our FA Cup match, but sadly suffered an injury to her other knee. A suspected meniscus tear and MCL injury means another operation is being planned, followed by another period of recovery.
But if there’s one thing we know about Frankie, it’s that she is strong, fit and incredibly resilient. 💪
We’ll be right behind you, Frankie, every step of the way. 🧡🖤
🆕 #16 ZOIE COLLETT — NEW SIGNING
Zoie is a young, pacy striker who joined us towards the end of pre-season and immediately gave us a glimpse of the exciting talent she brings to the squad.
Arriving with impressive stats from her previous club, Zoie has pace, energy and an eye for goal and she’s certainly one to watch as the season progresses. 👀⚡️
Unfortunately, Zoie also fell victim to a knee injury during our FA Cup match.
After a few weeks of rest and recovery, we’re looking forward to seeing Zoie back on the pitch and doing what she does best causing defenders problems! 🧡🖤
Get well soon, Zoie! 💪
THE ATTACK IS READY. THE STEELWOMEN ARE READY. 🧡🖤
