Agg signs for Vixens as Spring Series approaches

Former Millwall Lioness Lily Agg has joined top-flight Bristol City from Women’s Super League 2 newcomers Brighton and Hove Albion as clubs put the finishing touches to their Spring Series squads.

Agg has recently completed her studies to become a teacher and has chosen now to focus on a full-time football career.

“I always promised myself that once I got my teaching degree that I would pursue football and play at the highest level I could,” Agg said in a statement.

“As soon as the opportunity came along to join Bristol, I jumped at it.

“I have committed a lot to be here and hopefully that shows in the way I play.”

She will be joined in the Vixens squad by Chelsea’s Jodie Brett and Millie Farrow, who have agreed to return to the club on loan.

Meanwhile, head coach David Edmondson has been finalising his London Bees squad for the new campaign, and has retained last season’s WSL2 top scorer Jo Wilson and captain Ashleigh Goddard, along with goalkeeper Sophie Harris, defenders Aoife Hurley and Sophie Fogarty and midfielders Emma Beckett, Rebecca Anderson and Paula Howells.

In WSL1 news, Arsenal have announced they will be returning to Sevilla as part of their pre-season preparations.

Once again they will be playing Bayern Munich, who they will take on at the Luis del Sol Training Ground on Wednesday, February 1, kick-off 5:00pm.
