Anna Patten has returned to the club after four years playing and studying in America.
Anna first joined the club aged 12, where she developed through our academy ranks, making her first team debut in 2016, where she played every game for us in the 2016 Spring Series that season.
The defender then spent two years at the University of South Carolina and a further two years at Florida State University, where she played football alongside obtaining a degree.
“It's such an amazing feeling” said the 21-year-old. “Obviously I've been at the club since I was 12, so to be back and be able to fully sign for the team really is like a dream come true.
