Natasha Flint, a former Manchester City and Notts County 19-year-old attacker, joins Fylde despite attracting interest from several other clubs.
“Having sat down with the manager Luke (Swindlehurst) and learning about the plans and future for Fylde Ladies, I think this is a great club for me to be at.
“The future of this club is going to be big and I’m looking forward to getting started and creating history with the club.”
Manager Swindlehurst said: “This signing shows our ambition as a club and I think Natasha is key to us moving forward onto the next level. Having a player of her quality gives us an extra dimension which is a huge boost for next season. Holding onto her was top priority and I’m delighted she is fully committed to our long term vision for the Fylde.”
Meanwhile, Lagan Makin believes the switch will prove beneficial to her own game: “I’m really looking forward to playing in such a great stadium with amazing facilities. I know this will raise my game to the next level.

“I can’t wait to get going and start bagging a few goals. This is a great opportunity to create a legacy for the future of Fylde Ladies.”
Swindlehurst spoke of his delight to have Makin on board: “Lagan signing is great news for the club and I’m delighted we can work together again. Her ambitions are the same as ours – she is dedicated and passionate about reaching the very top.
“She has genuine pace and is a real threat in front of goal, which shows from her impressive stats last season. I’ve no doubt that Lagan will have a great season with us.”
