Wales Under-19 captain Maria Francis-Jones has returned to her homeland to join Adran Premier club The New Saints. The 21-year-old full-back previously played for Burnley but decided to leave at the end of the 2023-24 season.
Francis-Jones’ experience and talent will be a valuable addition to The New Saints as they continue to build their women’s team. The defender is excited to be part of a club that is striving for success and looking to make a mark in women’s football.
The New Saints recently announced that their women’s side would become semi-professional starting in the 2024-25 season, making it an attractive option for Francis-Jones, who is looking forward to contributing to the club’s ambitions. She has had previous stints at Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers, Sheffield United, and Cardiff City Ladies.
Fans will be eager to see her in action and see how she can help the team achieve their goals in the upcoming seasons.
