Sheffield United have signed promising young defender Annie Wilding from Barclays Women’s Super League side Everton.
She is able to play at right-back or centre-back and came through the ranks with the Toffees, joining the club when she was 12 years old and making her senior debut midway through the 2022-23 season.
Wilding said: “I’m delighted to be joining Sheffield United and excited for the challenge ahead. I feel like I’m at the point in my career where I need a new challenge, to go to a new team and be able to play in different systems, learn a new philosophy and grow as a player and a person.”
Head coach Ash Thompson commented: “Annie is an exciting young player who has had a great footballing education at Everton. She’s a good technician and is a versatile player who allows us to be tactically flexible.
“She’s keen to learn and develop and was willing to drop down a division to earn opportunities and we’re really pleased to add her to the squad as we keep building ahead of the new season.”
