Nantwich Town Women have announced they will be holding trials for both their First and Development squads ahead of the 2024/25 season.
The First team has had its best season since forming, reaching a cup final and another semi final, beating teams from divisions above along the way. They have also finished 4th in the Cheshire Women’s & Youth Football League Premier Division.
And 2024/25 will see the first season for the new Development Team which is growing quickly and will be playing in the Cheshire and Women’s Youth League next season.
Richard Embley, Head of Women’s Football, said: “We have a really exciting pathway developing with now over 100 female players aged between 13-18 at the club playing 11 a side football next season. So, it’s imperative that we expand our pathway opportunities into our first team. We have recruited well already with a coaching team who have experience of the league we will enter as well as the one above and their details will be announced shortly.”
Dan Mellor, Manager, Nantwich Town FC Women, said: “The growth of the female section of the club has been phenomenal really and a lot of hard work has gone on behind the scenes in order to get to where we are. Whilst we’ve had a successful year in both cup competitions, our aims have to be to get promoted over the next 2 seasons for the First Team which will allow us to have the development team come into our current league. With our facilities and coaching support, there’s no better place in Cheshire for female footballers to be playing.”
