Wolves Women have bolstered their squad after securing the services of experienced midfielder Becky Anderson.
Previously at Nottingham Forest, Anderson was a league and cup double winner with the Reds in the 2022/23 season.
Anderson went on to appear 106 times for Forest, scoring 15 goals, after returning to the club following a 10-year absence in the summer of 2021.
Prior to that, she gained FA Women’s Super League experience with London Bees before spending two seasons at Coventry United, helping the club retain their Championship status while also winning the Player of the Season award.
After heading back to the City Ground three years ago, Anderson played an integral role in Forest’s double-winning campaign, scoring eight goals and contributing 12 assists, as she lifted both the Northern Premier Division and FAWNL Cup.
Anderson celebrated a century of Nottingham Forest appearances in April, but now switches red for old gold as her footballing journey continues with Wolves.
Manager Dan McNamara said: “We’re really pleased to get Becky involved. She’s another one that we’ve had to deal with over the years – she’s a fantastic professional and someone we’re really looking forward to getting in.
“She’s a fantastic person, as she’s shown over the last few weeks of being in with us and she’s got a lot to offer the group.
“She’s one of the best ‘fours’ in the league. To put her alongside Summer (Holmes), Layla (Banaras) and the other great midfielders we’ve got is really exciting. She also brings a certain element of experience.
“We’ve lost Perks (Anna Price), H (Helen Dermody) and Beth Merrick over the summer, so it is quite a young group. It’s great to get someone in who’s won league titles and played at the highest levels.”
And McNamara has admitted that it is pleasing to attract a player of Anderson’s calibre, particularly after spending the last few seasons battling against her.
“To bring in players who have battled alongside us for so long, it’s been tough planning for the likes of her and Charlotte Greengrass over the years.
“To now attract them to the club gives you a warm feeling that you’ve been doing things right over the last few years. To get them from our rivals and a club we’ve been competing with for so long shows that we are doing things in the right way.
“It’s brilliant for us and hopefully we can continue to build. We want to keep doing things the right way, keep building and keep putting a squad together.”
