“I’m looking forward to working closely with the staff and this talented group of players,” Skinner said on his arrival.

“Our focus is to build on everything they have already achieved in the women’s game. It’s an exciting opportunity to lead the team into what will be another competitive WSL season.

“I want us to achieve success together and our aim is to give the fans a team they can continue to be proud of.”
