With just seven days to go until the new Genero Adran Premier campaign kicks off, our women’s first-team squad have officially signed their new semi-professional contracts ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Last year was certainly one to remember for The New Saints, as in only their fourth year in the Genero Adran Premier, the team secured a historic third-place finish – their highest league standing to date. 

That success was made even sweeter with silverware, as the Saints lifted the Genero Adran Trophy thanks to a superb 3-1 victory over Swansea City in the final at Latham Park.

Since then, Park Hall has seen a summer of change. Head coach Shauna Duffy departed to take up a role with the English Football Association, with former Everton U16s coach Jodie Williams stepping in to guide the squad into what promises to be another exciting campaign.

Williams has wasted little time putting her stamp on the team, securing four new signings while keeping a strong core of returning players. With last season’s progress as a platform, the Saints are aiming to push on again in their fifth year competing at the top level of Welsh women’s football.

Pre-season preparations have been encouraging, with the side testing themselves against the likes of Tranmere Rovers, Birmingham City U21s, and Port Vale. The schedule ended on a high last Wednesday too, as the Saints rounded off their friendlies with an emphatic 5-1 win against Shifnal Town.

Now, with the season opener against Cardiff City fast approaching, we are delighted to confirm the following players are under contract for 2025/26:

• Kay Baker
• Megan Bowen
• Olivia Buckland
• Caitlin Chapman
• Mia Davies
• Matilda Edge
• Becca Elliott
• Yasmin Evans
• Maria Francis-Jones
• Zara Gibbs
• Lexie Harrison
• Mackenzie Haydn-Jones
• Lexi Jones
• Lia Lewis
• Kelsey Richardson
• Chantelle Teare
• Tiggy Webb
• Harriet Wellings

At the same time, we extend our thanks to those who have moved on from Park Hall following the conclusion of the 2024/25 campaign:

• Grace Dunkerley
• Helen Evans
• Ella Hartley
• Molly Havard
• Sophie Phillips
• Destiny Reid
• Emily Ridge
• Kelsey Thomas

Whether continuing their football journeys elsewhere or stepping away from the game, we are hugely grateful for their contributions and wish them every success in the future.

Stay tuned for further updates in the coming days – including news of potential new arrivals – as we count down to our 2025/26 Genero Adran Premier opener next Sunday.
