Brighton take huge leap forward in women's football after unveiling new training ground which epitomises their desire to become a genuine force in WSL – with boss Hope Powell hailing the 'fantastic' transformation

Brighton have made no secret of their desire to become a force in women's football and have regularly spoken about their ambition to break into the European places. But sometimes actions speak louder than words.

Hope Powell's side have now been moved into an £8.5million training facility at the American Express Elite Performance Centre, where the men are based, after the club announced its intention to do so in 2019.

The set-up is impressive. The pitches, gym facilities, pools and medical centre now available to the women's team mirrors what Graham Potter's Premier League side use on a day-to-day basis.
