The New Saints Women are delighted to announce that 16-year-old Tallulah Parker has signed her first semi-professional contract with the club.
Tallulah joined The Saints' youth system at the age of 14 and has progressed through the girls' pathway, earning her senior opportunity after a series of standout performances for the U17s side.
The teenage forward made a big impression in the pre-season friendly against Llanfair United, coming off the bench to score four goals. Her form has continued into the new campaign, with 14 goals in seven games so far for the U17s this season, following an impressive 25 goals in 20 appearances for the U16s during the 2025/26 campaign.
"I’m really proud to have signed my first semi-professional contract with The New Saints," Tallulah said after putting pen to paper. “I’ve been part of the club for a long time now, so to take this step into the senior squad is a dream come true.
"I want to thank everyone at the Girls Academi, my coaches and my family for all their support along the way. I’m excited to learn from the experienced players around me, work hard every day and hopefully help the team this season."
Joseph Culshaw, Operations Lead at the Girls Academi, added: "Tallulah signing a semi-professional contract with the senior women’s team is a fantastic moment for her personally and for everyone involved in the TNS FC Girls Academi.
"A key part of what we are building within the girls' section is a clear pathway, giving players the opportunity to develop, progress and ultimately challenge themselves at senior level. She's a great example of that pathway, progressing from our U16s last season and U17s into the senior women’s environment.
"We want our players to see that there is a genuine opportunity for them at TNS FC and that if they work hard, show commitment and continue to develop, opportunities to step up are there to be earned.
"Everyone at the Girls Academi is incredibly proud of her and we look forward to supporting her continued development."
Tallulah is now eligible to feature in all first team matches for The New Saints Women and could make her senior debut in tomorrow’s Genero Adran Premier fixture against Aberystwyth Town.
