Lewes have signed England U-19 international winger Reanna Blades on a season-long loan from Chelsea FC Women.
The 18-year-old, who signed her first professional contract in October 2022, has represented England at all youth age groups up to the U-19s so far.
She made her competitive debut for Chelsea as a substitute in the Vitality Women’s FA Cup quarter-final win over Reading in March, but previously played and scored in a pre-season friendly against Arsenal.
Blades was Player of the Match in the FA Women’s Academy Cup final last season, scoring in the win over Manchester United.
