Vivienne Lia signs professional contract

We’re delighted to announce that Vivienne Lia has put pen to paper on her first professional contract with us.

The 18-year-old winger and England youth international joined our academy at the age of 14 in 2021 and has since gone on to win several trophies with our under-16 and under-21 teams, most recently winning the PGA Southern League title with the under-21s in April 2024.

Viv has already made two senior appearances for us, with her first-team debut coming from the bench in our League Cup quarter-final victory over London City Lionesses in February 2024.

Viv also gained valuable first-team experience as part of our travelling squads for our trips to Australia and the USA in the summer of 2024.
