Wolves Women have completed the signing of midfielder Merrick Will ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
Will becomes Dan McNamara’s third addition of the summer following the arrivals of Liv Fergusson and Ellie Wilson in July.
Formerly of Coventry United, Will brings experience and quality to the midfield engine room having previously spent four seasons in the Championship with London Bees.
Will has also enjoyed time in the southern division of the National League with Oxford United, alongside stints in the second tier at Millwall and Watford.
After agreeing terms to become McNamara’s latest member of the pack, Will said: “I really like the atmosphere around the club. It’s really ‘one pack’ and I think that’s been mentioned by Macca quite a lot, but I do really like that idea. That’s something that brought me to the club and something that resonates within me – this is somewhere I wanted to be and felt like it was my time to be here.
“The girls are ready to kick on and achieve that next goal of theirs which they’ve been so close to over the last two seasons. I’d love it if I could hopefully help the girls and be a part of that.”
Will believes her experience will be prove a valuable addition to the squad and hopes her style of play in the heart of the midfield can push the team on in what promises to be another highly competitive campaign.
“I spent quite a few seasons in the Championship so I’d like to think that’s what I can bring to the group and help the girls get over that hurdle,” Will continued.
“I’ve only experienced the National League for one year and that was when I was with Oxford in the southern. I don’t know much about the northern, so I think it will be a big learning curve for me to get used to the girls I play with, but also the other teams in the league.
“I’ve always heard really good things about the northern. It’s really competitive and I think it will be a really competitive season once again.
“I think I’m quite a tenacious midfielder and I like to get the tackles in. I can break up play, move the ball along and there are a couple of goals in there too.”
